First and foremost, where the hell did this thing come from?…read more It's incredibly new, or meticulously maintained. First encountered it when chatting with the Boston Whitecaps, and have been back once for a game. Uncovered, bench seating hearkens back to Any Given Friday of high school gridiron, and rightfully so - it's the official field for Medford High's football games and track meets. That said, Medford High is pretty generous with loaning out the space to outside orgs, like the aforementioned Major League Ultimate kids. Couple the spectrum of covered events with a dirt cheap, beer-stocked concession stand, ample parking and the blinding brilliance of three kajillion watts in fresh bulbage, and you've got a easy, low-cost way to kill a few hours. Or run a few laps. Whichever.

Nice stadium. The field looks great. Seats are aluminum bench seats. The concession were good -…read morenot too expensive. (including pizza from a local shop called Lisa's) I saw a Boston Whitecaps game here, which is a Major League Ultimate team. I would go back. It was fun.

Pretty decent hockey rink. It's one of the rinks used in the league that I play in, the NESHL (New…read moreEngland Senior Hockey League) and I found it to be one of the better ones so far. The parking outside is spacious which is pretty awesome - it's in fact a lot better than the rink in Everett in those terms. And that is also the case for the locker rooms which are also pretty big. That aside, the ice was in pretty good condition and not as soft as in other rinks, mostly because of the fact that the rink itself is kept at a colder temperature. The lighting of the ice is decent but the benches are a bit too short in length. Some of us had to stand up during the game... All in all this is a pretty solid ice skating rink though. I'm playing there next week and look forward to it.

Good local hockey rink. Took my lil buddy Jack who I tutor at the Boys & Girls Club here for the…read moreTufts vs Norwich game this past Saturday afternoon. Tufts a no gotta their own rink on campus since they didn't have varsity hockey until a few years back. Good trivia (trivierrr) in case you're ever in town. It's small, not a lot of seats, but it's cozy. And you can see just fine, and they don't mind if you stand up right next to the boards so that's cool to get the close up especially when there's a big hit right in front of you. Plenty of locals in the stands (who knew there were so many Norwich hockey alums in the area?) and lotsa "Hey Laaahrrry, how's the wife?" type of talk. Always amusing to hear. Jack had never been to a hockey game so it was pretty fun for him. However, I think he had just as much fun playing the racecar video game in the lobby. Actually I did too!

No tour to Harvard University is complete without stopping by the football stadium. Better yet if…read moreyour lucky enough to attend a game there. What's really cool is that the stadium is left unlocked. Anyone 24/7 can walk in the Roman coliseum type structure and walk on the turf field. A bit disappointing that it was not a grass field, but oh well. There are some renovations going on over the Summer. To me it looks it's age. The scoreboard is modest. A bit of background. The Harvard Stadium turned 116 years old this year. It has the distinction of being the oldest permanent concrete structure in intercollegiate sports. For more than a century it stands proud as the "aristocrat of American sports amphitheaters". As one writer described it. Their first game was against Dartmouth in 1903. Get a photo op on the field and experience the history of Harvard Football. It's a darn cool place to say you have visited.

The Boston Bruins, along with their fellow Original Six members (Montreal Canadiens, Detroit Red…read moreWings, Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Blackhawks, and New York Rangers), are one of the all-time great NHL franchises. Of the league's current 32 teams, the Bruins rank fourth in total Stanley Cup Finals appearances (20). Of the Original Six, the Bruins have the worst Finals winning percentage: 300 (6-14). Still, that's six championships which is more than 27 other NHL franchises can say. In the last 50 years, Boston has only won one Stanley Cup and it didn't come easy. The Bruins faced the Vancouver Canucks in the 2011 Finals, a series that went the distance. The Bruins came out on top, 4-3, thanks to strong performances in Games 6 and 7. The squad was led by goalie Tim Thomas, "Big Z" Zdeno Chara, winger Milan Lucic, and center David Krejci. That year, Thomas went on to win the Conn Smythe Trophy (Stanley Cup Finals MVP) and both Thomas and Chara were named to the NHL's All-Star Teams. Lucic and Krejci were drafted by the Bruins in 2006 and 2004, respectively. Claude Julien was the coach of the 2011 championship team. He led Boston to two Stanley Cup Finals appearances in three seasons (2011 and 2013). However, the Bruins also missed the playoffs two years in a row in 2015 and 2016. Julien was eventually fired in the middle of the 2016-17 season. Throughout the Bruins' history, dating back to the 1924-25 season, the team has rarely missed the playoffs two straight years or more. The Bruins consistently qualify for the playoffs, year in and year out. Ray Bourque and Johnny Bucyk, both in the Hockey Hall of Fame, are the franchise's all-time points leaders. Bourque spent 21 seasons in Boston (1976-77 through 1999-2000). He never won a Stanley Cup with the Bruins, but he did with the Colorado Avalanche and retired shortly thereafter (2001). Bucyk helped lead the Bruins to two Stanley Cup championships in 1970 and 1972. Like Bourque, Bucyk spent 21 seasons in Boston (1957-58 through 1977-78). The "Chief" retired a Bruin in 1978. He still holds the franchise record in goals with 545 and Bourque holds the record in assists with 1,111.

Tight, fabulously professional and incredibly nice would best describe this band of professionals. Well, the music starts and immediately you watch the faces of the crowd and this expression of..........."wow not your typical entertainment at a corporate event!" They had every one up and dancing and the conga line began led by the saxophone player as he meandered through the crowd with his trail of willing dancers. Funky, tight (said that), cover (sorry to use the expression), each song better than the last...........I can't say enough for how much fun it was to stand back and watch my guests get down. Their web site is awesome and as professional as they are. The music spot on and what you hear is what you get. But then there is the "show." These pros really now how to entertain and that is one of their many attributes. If you don't have fun with these guys and gals, you don't have a pulse.
