Coach Silengo has a fish story to top them all..........
Assistant hockey coach, Bill Silengo recently was in Naples, Florida for the AHCA Hockey Coaches Convention. While there he went deep sea fishing and landed a 10 foot, 1100 lb. Nurse Shark. It took him close to an hour to get it to the surface and to the edge of the boat.

Time goes by quickly.....
Last day on the blog. Another gorgeous day in Fredonia. It's weird to think that the next time I will probably be doing this I will be a senior. Time has gone by so fast, it seems like only yesterday I was just coming to Fredonia as a freshman. You really can't take time for granted. Everything is really winding down and I can honestly say I don't want to join the real world yet. I'm going to miss the boys and the good times that come with it. Until next time when I am senior....

Palmy gets his start as a goalie...........
The week is winding down, and so is my desire for studying. Luckily I
only have one more test left and then its the weekend! It is too bad
that for Fred Fest this year there is no performer. Last year was awesome
as Lupe Fiasco came. It was a pretty cool to have a big name performer
come to our small school.
Either way as always, the weather is gorgeous and I am stuck here in the
library. If you look back to a previous blog of mine, the same picture
is applicable as I am sitting in a cubby trying to study. A lot of
people probably don't like to blog or find that its difficult to write
about something different every day. As for me its a time to get away
from the studying and to share memories and reminisce in the good
times.

One memory I'll never forget is one of the first times I ever played
goalie. It was on a rec league team, and as anyone probably knows
they occasionally have a random player play goalie. I volunteered for
this game in particular as it was against this team that was known to be
really skilled and nobody else wanted to. Oh boy were they ever! Here
there team was, way bigger than our players and way beyond the skill
level we had. I was dressed in these tiny red goalie pads, most likely
put on the opposite legs as I didn't know how to put them on, just a
regular helmet and some beat up glove and blocker. Basically I was not
ready for the skill set of these players. I got shelved on. The score
ended up about 9-0. However the reason I'll never forget is because I
realized how much fun it was to play goalie (once you get over the
flying rubber coming at you). The other reason is because although the
score was so high, I must have made over 50 saves. It was awesome. The
other team was saying how good I played for never doing it and the boys
on my team appreciated me stepping in and doing that.
The last and final thing that I will remember about that game is my
dad coming up to me. he says, "So you're probably never going to want to
do that again are you?" My response was as follows, "Are you kidding?
That was awesome! you see how many saves I had?" My Dad started laughing
and since then I played goalie for our team for the rest of the season
and started to play goalie. As I used to play defense I always wonder
how good I would have been if i still played D instead of switching over
however, i love the position I am in and couldn't be happier at where I
am at in my career.
As always,
Palmy

Palmy breaks out of the norm...........
It seems to me that everyone on the blog writes about similar things day
in and day out. "I am here in the library" or "I am at lunch with the
boys", and as always subtle chirps are found throughout each blog. Maybe
this time, I wont chirp anyone or even dare to mention the library
(besides right there). During this blog post I suppose I will just talk
about something else. But then again, what else is there for a college
student to talk about? Either way here's a pic of rob Michalka taking

Fred Fest weekend is approaching.....
Day two of the blog. Not much changes from day to day. Fred Fest weekend
is approaching and everyone knows not much gets done over that weekend.
However for me I have to get a lot done before Fred Fest. I have a
"quest" Wednesday in one of my classes and a test on Thursday in
another. My one teacher decides to call his tests "quests" for the
reason is that he believes it is a long quiz. Regardless neither a test
or "quest" is a fun time. So I apologize if this blog post ends quickly.
For me studying becomes extremely difficult with nice weather so the
battle to get to the library is a mission of itself. As I sort of stated
the weather here is getting nicer and nicer which normally would be
looked at as a good thing, however, in Fredonia nice weather means
everyone wants to hang out outside. Some of the boys I heard went
golfing today, myself and my lift group went for a run outside today
which was nice. For me though until the weekend is here, my view is
limited to what you see in the picture. While some may enjoy a nice
romantic sunset (Ellenberger and his girlfriend) I will
enjoy the sounds of pencil scratching paper, and a never changing
background of papers and books.
