Perseverance and Commitment
Re-dedicating yourself over and over to a goal... Feeling the fear and doubts and not succumbing to it... Reaching deep down inside to connect with the part of you that is not going to roll over and play dead. In High School, I played left back (defense) for my school field hockey team. My job was to defend our goal, back up our forwards and mid-field players. I was committed to our team. I believed in us and I had faith that we would play to the best of our ability and have fun in the process. We did. Occasionally, the other team got past me and the other defender and I would feel like throwing my hockey stick after them to hit the ball and them away from the goal. I wanted to, but I didn't. What I did do, was to re-visit my commitment to defend to the best of my ability... to give it my all. At the end, win or lose, when I gave it my all, I felt proud. Now, 30 years later, I am involved in different games of life. I want to be a good mother, a good person. I want to practise the spiritual principles and the Avatar tools that I know, to be the kind of person that my Higher Self calls me to be. There are days when I have my dips and I don't feel like trying anymore. I can feel what it would feel like to quit, to bale on myself and that fighting spirit in me re-ignites. I know where I have been. I don't want to go back there. Too much darkness and struggle. I have a good taste of what is possible... what lies ahead.. and I want it! I want it badly enough to push past my "stuff". I want it enough to do whatever it takes to get myself out of that hole and keep moving forward.

I'd Like $50 on the Predators!
Rick It was learned on Wednesday that former Flyers star and current Phoenix Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet could be in some hot water with both the NHL and the New Jersey State Police, after authorities busted a sports gambling ring he helped finance. According to authorities, Operation Slap Shot (real creative title there guys, I guess Operation Icing and Operation Crosscheck were both already taken) uncovered a sports betting system that processed more than 1,000 wagers with a total of about $1.7 million on professional and collegiate sporting events during a 40-day period. Tocchet has been identified as a partner and financier of the ring (along with a New Jersey state trooper), and State Police also say that "Police Academy 5" star and wife of Wayne Gretzky, Janet Jones, placed bets for players on the Coyotes. No one involved has been accused of betting on hockey games, by the way. All bets were made on sports other than the NHL. So, were not talking about NHL players placing bets on their own games, like Pete Rose did. Still, this could be a major scandal for the NHL. Perhaps even more shocking to me was the fact that I had no idea that Rick Tocchet was still in the NHL! Did you know he was a coach on the Coyotes? And did you know that he and Wayne Gretzky, the Coyotes head coach, were BFFs? It got me to thinking with Tocchet turning to the gambling industry following his playing career (with a little coaching mixed in), what jobs do you think some ex-Flyers may be pursuing now that their playing career is finished, and what jobs do you think some current Flyers may pursue when they hang up the skates? (Cue the dream sequence sound effects and graphics) Mike Bullard Dentist (if anyone knows about dental work, it would be ol Gappy) Tim Kerr Hunchback (years of back problems) Dominic Roussel Motivational Speaker (centering around teamwork) Ron Hextall Anger Management Coach (because he always kept a cool head) Brian Propp Anything but a radio color analyst (damn, too late) Peter Zezel Teen Magazine Editor (hell, he appeared in enough of those things anyway) Eric Lindros Mafia Hit Man (fuhgeddaboutit) Billy Tibbets Unemployed (its hard for a rapist to find a good job nowadays) Kjell Samuelson Lumberjack (obviously) Keith Primeau Lets just have Keith be able to run on a treadmill for 10 minutes without falling over before we give the guy a job Chris Gratton Not sure exactly, but I do know that hed get a promotion then crumble under the pressure of higher expectations Chris Therien First things first. Lets just get the guy to retire first and then we can figure out a job for him. RETIRE CHRIS! Garth Snow Sofa Maker (hey, the guy likes padding) Donald Brashear Professional Swimmer (just like the NHL, hed be the only black guy out there) Those are just a few. And hey, lets make this interactive. Make sure to click on the forums link, reply to this column and add a couple of your own! You can use any current or former Flyer. Maybe theyll check in sometime if theyre low on ideas or worried about what theyre going to do when they decide to retire. In the end, theyll thank us. In the meantime, Tocchet is expected to be arraigned within the next 7-10 days and will most likely be suspended by the NHL for his role in the gambling ring. And Rick, if you do end up having to do a little time in the pokey, tell Billy Tibbets we all said hello.

Breckenridge Ski Resort
Breckenridge Ski Resort is located in Breckenridge, Colorado, where there is no shortage of amazing snow. The ski season runs from early November to late April. Twenty-eight lifts service 2208 acres and 147 trails. The mountain is 12,998 feet tall, which makes for long trails and more time on the slopes. The longest trail is 3.5 miles long and is a combination of intermediate and beginning levels. 15% of the trails are for beginners, 33% are intermediate level, 32% are advanced and 20% are expert level. Many of the advanced and expert level runs feature bumps, glades and are often almost deserted. For 20 years people have snowboarded at Breckenridge. The resort offers four terrain parks, four halfpipes, and a Superpipe with 18.5 foot high walls. The Freeway Terrain Park was ranked one of the best by Snowboarder, Transworld Snowboarding, and Freeze magazines. For their 20th anniversary as a snowboarding pioneer, Breckenridge will update and revitalize their already amazing terrain parks. The resort also offers terrain park classes so you can take your skills to the next level. If you are an intermediate or advanced skier, Breckenridge is a good place to take lessons. As well as offering highly skilled instruction, the ski school has free video analysis to help you discover subtle imperfections in your technique, so you can improve as quickly as possible. Besides skiing and snowboarding, the resort also offers ski blading, dog sleding, snowshoe tours, snowmobile tours, Nordic skiing, ice-skating and hockey. Another feature you shouldn't miss is the free, guided mountain tours.After playing in the snow all day, check out the recreation center. It has free weights, cardio equipment, aerobic classes, basketball courts, two climbing walls, and separate pools for adults and children. Relax in one of the two hot tubs, the sauna or the steam room. Close to the mountain is the 136-year-old town of Breckenridge. With over 100 restaurants, 6 spas, 39 bars and clubs, 258 boutiques and 501 hotels and inns, there is something for everyone. On the mountain, there are also a variety of restaurants, pubs, and grab and go options so you can always get fueled up quickly, even if you don't want to go into town. Perhaps the most unique and refreshing thing about this resort is their environmental policies. The people at Breckenridge Resort consider themselves to be stewards of the land and the resort makes a concerted effort to promote renewable energy, resource conservation, recycling, wildlife habitat preservation, and environmental education. Part of the energy that runs the lifts is generated by wind turbines. They offer free bus service to reduce pollution and they close certain sections of the resort during elk calving season. The ultimate goal is to move the resort towards complete sustainability. To learn more about this project go to http://www,naturalstep.org/.
