1. A Few Words from Sabre_in_Virginia
I am proud to announce that my friend, our friend and supporter, Justin Goldman President of the Hockey Guild, has been recognized as an outstanding new voice for hockey. He is nominated for the "Glenn Anderson Leaderhip in Writing Award" to be presented this week at the NHL Awards events and ceremonies in Las Vegas, NV.
The Glenn Anderson Leaderhip in Writing Award - "will be awarded to the writer who demonstrates a desire to help build and grow the popularity of ice hockey, both throughout North America and across the globe."
Justin has done just that by being a friend to us, helping us, the table hockey (TH) community, by including and featuring table hockey as one of the events ("Top of the Mountain") at his annual "Quest for the Crown" series of all-things-hockey-related events held in Denver, Colorado. "Quest for the Crown," raises money for both local needs (usually children) in the noble fight against cancer and the NHL's charity, "Hockey Fights Cancer."
Justin, has included and promoted TH in his writing, websites and on his Denver area sports radio and television spots with well-known sports journalists and personalities.
I "thank all of you!" / "Merci Beaucoup!"
In turn, some of us have supported Justin by: making donations to me in person while up at tournaments in Quebec, loaning or supplying boards at a discount, attending the events in Denver -- some coming all the way from New Jersey, helping out when I couldn't make it to Denver this year, helping me work with Stiga USA, custom Coleco www.CanadaHockeyTable.com or getting the Chexx game ready for tournament play, or promoting QC and TOTM on our websites and chat boards such as www.TableHockeyHeaven.com, www.NYCTHA.us, or http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/TableHockeyTavern/ or http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ccth/.
For all of you who've supported QC and TOTM, you should give yourself a "pat" on the back. Though Justin has done 98% of the work, the 2% we've contributed nonetheless contributed to his success, to the benefit of others in need and recognition at the NHL level. We did something positive. Imagine if those of you who didn't help out in the past, did help in the future. What we could achieve!
From the moment we first communicated with each other out in Denver to work together on the first annual QC event, I believed our vision would promote table hockey's standing with the public and with the NHL. I think this confirms that thought. The next step is for more of us to step forward to increase our support as a community for the "Quest for the Crown" and "Top of the Mountain" move forward in Denver and elsewhere.
Whether Justin wins this award or not, I hope you'll recognize his tireless work and contributions on our behalf and on the behalf of others most needy by supporting this event next year!

3. "Thank You" from Justin Goldman, The Hockey Guild
| Quote: |
| The Hockey Guild has accomplished a lot in two short seasons, as we have almost single-handedly created a new community of local hockey players dedicated to advancing and enhancing Colorado's hockey scene. All of our hard work was finally recognized last week when we were nominated for the first-ever New Media Glenn Anderson Leadership Award. Together with the Hockey Barn Writer's Association, Anderson has created his own award to recognize members of New Media dedicated to promoting hockey. We are honored to be nominated for this award, especially with a name like Glenn Anderson attached to it. For those of you that don't know, Anderson was one of the most skilled and passionate players for the Edmonton Oilers during their dynasty in the 1980's. He was chosen to join the Hockey Hall of Fame and will be inducted during the annual ceremony in November. On Thursday night during the NHL Awards Ceremony in Las Vegas, Anderson himself will announce the winner of the Glenn Anderson Leadership Award for New Media. Alongside Goldman's nomination is the man who hosts one of Justin's weekly goalie columns, Darryl Dobbs from DobberHockey.com and one of the leaders in the Washington Capitals New Media revolution from JapersRink.com. Obviously with the hockey season at an end, it's time for The Hockey Guild to take a few months to catch up on sleep and re-structure programs for Year #3! We already have some great things coming for not only TheHockeyGuild.com, but TheAvalancheGuild.com and TheGoalieGuild.com as well, so as always, stay tuned!!! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPS SUPPORT THE HOCKEY GUILD. WITHOUT LOCAL SPONSORS, OUR PROGRAMS ARE NOT POSSIBLE. |
