Let the games begin!

Well if I have to go why not make it an adventure! As many know I am attending the 2010 Olympics and am going to have a different perspective. I am not going as a spectator but I am going as a service to the women and men’s hockey as well as the figure skating. My job is to represent Blackstone who is providing the equipment for the service shop’s at all of these venues. We were asked by Easton Hockey to team up with them and provide an incredible experience for all of the athletes who are participating. Basically if they need something in the realm of equipment repair we will provide it. I have participated in Salt Lake 2002, Torino 2006, and now Vancouver 2010. Hopefully you will be able to see the different perspective of down in the bowels of the arena’s where at times there is completely nothing to do and within minutes you are overwhelmed with tasks such as skate sharpening, riveting, boot fitting, equipment repair.....all the way of providing some beverages and a little piece and quite for some coaches. Please feel free to comment on anything or ask questions.

Day 8 - 02/22/2010

Today the final woman's teams are coming to play at the main rink. There is a lot of organization involved because they don't know which mens teams are going to be eliminated and they will not be eliminated until Tuesday. There is no rooms left so it will be interesting to see how this works out. It is interesting to see how even the refs to the ice managers that you see shoveling the snow after the Olympia has cleaned the ice. The refs are great they like to try new things and appreciate when you help them out. We ard still very busy helping the teams out by making sure their equipment is performing as they like. Here is a few picks that we have for you, and a video of team Canada warming up. See you soon and thanks for reading.
