One of the reasons blog postings have been more scarce of late is I’ve had a bit more time to spend writing the book, and so I have.
Researching and writing the historical portion is far from an exact science because there really is no definitive authority the history of California hockey. I’m pulling information from books, records and dozens of interviews with players and coaches who have been involved in the game out here for the past 40-plus years.
Incidentally, one could make a case that this is the 50th year of youth hockey in California. GLAMHA (the old Greater Los Angeles Minor Hockey Association) was formed in 1959 from what I can tell.
Until next time,
Chris
Chris: I’ve been doing some of my own research about hockey and I think your book will make some fun reading. Can you send me an email when it hits the book stores?

Hockey is probably a great sport to play in California. I was convinced that hockey was only a cold weather sport, so I was never interested in joining a team.
