Keeping Score: Latvian audition

Good morning!
Bernardston’s Doug Weiss will be the team doctor for the U.S. National Men’s Hockey Team at the World Championships in Riga, Latvia starting next week. Weiss is a veteran of USA Hockey’s foray into world tournaments, but this year he’ll be suturing and mending amidst a backdrop of administrative turmoil.
On Monday, USA Hockey GM Chris Drury named Jack Capuano to coach the U.S. team. It was an ominous sign for New York Rangers coach Dave Quinn, who had been expected to get the job.
The paradigm changed when Rangers owner James Dolan fired team president John Davidson and GM Jeff Gorton and promoted Drury, and on Wednesday Drury fired Quinn.

Keeping Score: Checkin’ in with Skip

Good morning!
It’s been a while since West County’s Jim “Skip” Smith left the ‘Falls to be a freelance television cameraman. He wound up in Tampa, got married, raised a family and toted handhelds around Amalie Arena covering Tampa Bay Lightning games. He’s covered the Rays, the world water skiing championships in South America, Prince Harry’s Invictus Games in Orlando and everything in between.
He was going strong until a year ago when he tripped and fell. Two weeks later he was out on the links, swung a club and doubled over in pain, unrelenting pain. “It got to the point where I needed a walker to get around and was sleeping in a recliner,” said Smith.
