After some 21-plus years of handicapping on this website, I need to step away from my full-time handicapping duties for the time being.
This is not goodbye forever, this is just goodbye for now. Goodbye to the day-to-day grind of 'capping baseball, basketball, and football day in, day out, week in, week out, 7 days a week.
I like to keep my private life, well, private, but I will share with you that I do have a son who is in his last year of high school and he has decent enough talent to play ice hockey at a travel level, I want to dedicate his last year on the ice to being with him and my wife for it all. To do that, I need to step away from the day-to-day ALL sports coverage.
I will be spending plenty of time in hockey rinks this fall, and I will be eating, drinking, and sleeping hockey, which also means very close attention to the NHL daily.
General Manager, Al DeMarco and I have a great working relationship, and he and I have discussed my putting my talents towards handicapping the NHL exclusively for this upcoming year. While I won't have a release every day, it's very safe to assume I will have plenty of plays to make you money on the ice this season from opening night puck drop straight through to the hoisting of Lord Stanley's Cup.
As you know I also have a rock-solid opinion on the ponies, and I will still be releasing my Triple Crown breakdowns on the Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont as usual.
Hey, I am an original member at this site, so this is by no means a permanent closure, but it does mean I will be seeing you a little more selectively this fall, winter, and spring.
Hockey season is upon us, and I am ready to make you some money on the ice.
