Whale on OC Beach

Early Monday afternoon (Jan 23rd) a 60 ft female Finback Whale washed up on the 7th Street Beach in Ocean City NJ. The Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine performed a necropsy (autopsy) on the whale on Tuesday and their findings were that the whale had been struck by a boat and had been dead for about a week. With the help on the Ocean City Public Works crews, the whale was cut up and buried near the Ocean City/Longport bridge. 

Hockey Action

January has been a very exciting month for me. This month I have covered 5 hockey games for Inside Hockey and am very much looking forward to covering the AHL All-Star Classic which takes place on Jan 29th and 30th at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. On Jan 19th I shot the Flyers - New York Islanders game which was won by the Islander 4-1.

Than Sunday afternoon I covered the Flyers/Bruins game for Inside Hockey. This was one of the most exciting games that I have ever been to, it was like a game from the 70's between the Big Bad Bruins and the Broad Street Bullies. The Bruins won 6-5 in a shootout. There were 3 fights and 60 plus hits, now this was some old-time hockey.

A Weekend in Philly

So the first week of 2012 was a very exciting week for me. Friday night I covered the Hershey Bears vs Adirondack Phantoms hockey game played at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. This game also known as the 2012 Outdoor Classic was played in front of a record breaking crowd of 45,653.

Here is the link of my photos on Inside Hockey:

On Saturday, I was back in Philadelphia again covering another game for Inside Hockey. The Ottawa Senators were in town to play the Flyers at the Wells Fargo Center.  The Flyers would win in overtime 3-2. 

Here is the link for that game:

Goodbye 2011 - Hello 2012

So yesterday was January 1st, it was like a beautiful Spring day, not a Winter day. Alicia and I decided to take a ride over to Ocean City for a stroll on the beach. There were a lot of people out, a few fishing and others just out and about enjoying the 1st day of Spring...lol.

Hope everyone has a Happy, Healthy, Safe and Prosperous New Year.
