April 12, 2021
Friday, April 9 was opening day at the Penobscot Valley Country Club in Orono.. I arrived at the country club at 12:30 p.m. and was looking to tee off despite not having a tee time. I was told that I could take the 12:40 tee time because the group scheduled for that time slot had cancelled. I rushed to the first tee box, put my tee in the ground, placed my ball on the tee and stepped back. I stretched for a minute, and started to walk up to my ball to take my first shot of 2021.
As I approached my ball I heard someone yell in the distance, “Does anyone know CPR?” I stopped approaching my ball, looked up and saw golfers on the course from various holes all run and gather on the third hole. Moments later police and paramedics arrived at the scene. An ambulance drove down the golf course to the crowd of people. I stood on the tee box for around 30 minutes observing the crowd I had no idea what was going on or who the paramedics were attending to.
Remembering Red
In an effort to pay tribute to Dennis Red Gendron the 6th head coach in the history of the UMaine hockey program, we chatted with former play Jack Rodrigue who was part of the 92-93 National Championship team, but before that he spent a lot of team with Red Gendron getting ready to play for the Black Bears.
He shared stories and thoughts of Gendron, Greg Hirsch who was also on that team also reflected on memories of Red the coach and the person.
The Gendron family request in lieu of flowers any donations be made in his name to the Grant Standbrook fund at the University of Maine.
Grzelcyk injured in Boston s 3-2 loss to Flyers on Saturday afternoon by Eric Russo @erusso22 / BostonBruins.com
PHILADELPHIA - Patrice Bergeron and Jake DeBrusk scored but the Bruins dropped their road trip finale against the Philadelphia Flyers, 3-2, on Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center. Jeremy Swayman made his third straight start and stopped 20 shots in the loss, the first of his NHL career. I liked their effort, Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said of his club, who surrendered the winner to Sean Couturier at 6:59 of the third. Obviously, [the Flyers] have a lot to play for - every team does this time of year that s still in the mix. That certainly has something to do with it. We had a few breakdowns that they converted on. We didn t give up a whole lot. The goals they scored, can t fault Swayman.
