12/22/12: If the world doesn't end on Friday (don't kill me Ed), Chowdah will be having a skating fun time get together at Kendall Ice. Admission is $5, skate rental is $8. We're shooting to get there at 1pm since some people (PHONY) have commitments later on.

12/26/12: Ebay swap at the Fours! Go find a kitschy piece of Bruins paraphernalia for $15 or less and bring it to the Fours around 6pm. Swap will occur at 6:30. Drinking in excess because we miss hockey will occur after.

And finally, starting January 6th - for those of you who have just started skating/learning to play hockey and who can get to Arlington on Monday nights at 10pm, Hockey North America's Adult Learn-to-play Hockey sessions are starting up. It's a 17-week program with 8 weeks of instruction followed by nine weeks of games. I've done this program in the past and am doing it again, and I highly recommend it - if you want to continue playing hockey after the 17 weeks, you get transitioned into one of HNA's leagues, which is neat. Call (800) 446-2539 or shoot me an email for more information.

I'm not saying you should RSVP for the skate or the swap, but....comment here if you're going so we can get a basic head count!
