Hockey Nuts and Bolts was born out of finding the nuances of playing hockey, managing rinks and fandom. It is a very infrequent blog.
Back in the late aughts, I decided that I wanted to see a game in every NHL city. I wished I modified that early to say every NHL arena because I missed out on some old barns on the way, and a not-so-old one home to the Atlanta Thrashers. Around my midway mark, a friend mentioned I should probably blog about my arena visits. So everything from Columbus in 2016 to present is here. Before that, I mainly blathered on about hockey in Florida, ice rinks and the management of them, and whatever came to mind.
