Welcome back to my Chaplain’s Chat blog! With the major change in the BCHL and Warriors website, it took me a while to get Chaplain’s Chat on track. It has been a while, and I’m glad to be back at it.
I want to catch you up on a bit of news….In late January, Lorraine and I spent a wonderful 10 days in Arizona, a fabulous gift from a great supporter of Hockey Ministries Chaplaincy. While we were there, we had the opportunity to have brunch with Warriors Director of Player Personnel, Brent Gough, his wife Carly and their fabulous little boy Greysin. That really was one of the highlights of our time in Arizona. All of the wonderful sights of Phoenix and the entire state cannot compare with the friendship and relationships that we make in hockey and other areas of our lives.
Also, I went to a Arizona State University Sun Devils hockey game and watched ex-Warrior Jordan Masters play. It was wonderful to give Jordie a big old hug and chat with him after the game. (I showed up to the game with a WK Warriors jersey on, just to bring a smile to his face.) The game was a very high caliber and quick affair, and Jordie is doing quite well in a Sun Devils jersey.
One last thought: I am very excited about our upcoming 7th Annual Warriors Faith Night, which takes place on Friday February 19; a game vs. the Vernon Vipers. This evening will feature a church choir singing the National Anthem, as well as some Pastor’s playing boot hockey during one of the intermissions. We will have a video on the big screen highlighting the Warriors chapel program, and we’ll have many church groups in the arena that night. It will be nothing short of a fabulous evening!
Thanks so much for reading this latest edition of Chaplain’s Chat. I trust that you enjoy it and that I would be an encouragement to the entire Warriors hockey family.
May Christ’s love warm you all,
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His Son Jesus……”
