Yikes!), gather round the campfire for a little story time.As mentioned in this column and on my Facebook page, I was in Muskegon, Michigan last ...Continued |

Brief delay getting out to the airport here in Harrisburg, as Bear Force One has been delayed by Air Force Two. Quite literally. Vice President Joe Biden was in central Pennsylvania this morning, and his departure locked down Harrisburg International Airport until they cleared our airspace. Which just happened to come at the right moment we were heading out to ...Continued |

29 years ago, Claude Noel scored the game-winning goal over Bruce Boudreau's New Brunswick Hawks, giving the Hershey Bears a 7-4 win in Game 6 of the Calder Cup Finals. The Bears won the Cup at Hersheypark Arena in front of 6,745 fans (No, it wasn't a sellout.) Boudreau would return to Hershey 25 years later to assume the head ...Continued |

If you don't have tickets for Tuesday's Game 5, and the Bears do win the Calder Cup, you can still see it live in central Pennsylania and for free. ABC-27 will break into tomorrow's Lakers-Magic game to show the final minute of regulation if Hershey has a lead in the final moments. Thanks to Gregg Mace for passing that along ...Continued |

I've said for a long time now that the loudest I ever heard Giant Center was when Eric Fehr scored his legendary overtime goal in Game 7 to put Hershey in the Finals in 2006. No AHL building had ever beaten that decibel level either that I had ever heard. That's no longer the case. When Graham Mink scored in ...Continued |

It was among the biggest media days I've ever seen today at Hersheypark Arena, and most of our media weren't even a part of it. Our TV stations loaded up on Hershey video at Thursday's practice.

It's good to be back at home here in central PA after splitting two games in Winnipeg to begin this best-of-seven Calder Cup Finals. It was a tough end to the game Tuesday in Game 2, but so far the series is shaping up to be exactly what we thought it would be: a long, hard fought battle representing the ...Continued |
