PAUL-
What in world are you up to – you seem very esoteric these days. Still playing any hockey?

Not only does he still play hockey; Paul is viewed as one of the rising stars and minds in the sport. Being the unselfish person that he is, Paul has decided not to sign with any teams. Instead, he has chosen to coach younger players to reach the level of play that Paul has attained.

Thanks Kevin…That is huge praise for which I am undeserving. Still I appreciate such kind words coming from such a promising future NHL fixture. Keep up the great work, keep your head up in the corners and do it to them before they do it to you. Peace, Coach P.

Ray – I assume the only “Ray” that matters…Ray Pohl? I am not so sure that I am esoteric in the sense of being understood by so few. However, I still manage to confuse myself, I spend way too much time by myself reflecting on myself; and I still don’t understand me. I would ask how you are and for details about health, family and overall mojo…but that would reveal an empathic side in direct contravention with my hypointeresoteric state of being. Ya dig?
