Mustangs Finish Season with Tournament Title

Last weekend, the 2012-13 hockey season came to an end for Andrew (#97) and Strongsville Mustangs. It was a very difficult season, but the Mustangs found a way to finish it on a very high note by winning the Killer B Tournament in Shaker Heights, OH. After a narrow 0-1 loss to Shaker Heights in the opening game, the Mustangs bounced back to defeat our nemesis Rocky River 3-1. The next game we defeated our arch enemy Geauga 2-1 setting a up a rematch with Geauga for the tournament championship game. The Mustangs buckled down and won that game 3-1 for a nice, walk-off championship title to end the year!

Mustangs Final Two Regular Season Games

I'm still catching up with video editing. Here are two of the Strongsville Mustangs final two games of the season. These are both against the Shaker Heights Raiders. We lost the first one 1-3, but won the second one 3-2 (to knock Shaker Heights out of the playoffs). It was a long, losing season, but nothing stays the same ... Mustangs finish strong!

Mustangs Parry with the Pirates

I am a bit behind with hockey game video editing; but a couple weekends ago Andrew and the Strongsville Mustangs had two brutal games against the Rocky River Pirates. In the first game, which was away, we had 12 penalties in the first two periods, the head coach got thrown out of the game, and the Rocky River police showed up to provide "crowd control." The latter was a little bit overkill, but clearly our parents were upset about the horrendous officiating. We lost that game 0-6. In the rematch, a home game, the officiating didn't get much better. We had one collision where a Rocky River kids had to get carried off the ice. That resulted in a penalty on us, and one of our best players being suspended a game. There was a second collision in the game where one of our players got carrier off the ice - the other team didn't even get a penalty! We lost that game 2-5 (Andrew had a nice assist).

I'm in the Top 5% on LinkedIn

This is kind of cool. I received an email today from LinkedIn telling me that I have one of the top 5% most viewed professional profiles on the LinkedIn network. To prove it, I have included the email letter below. Just goes to show that good, professional networking has its rewards.

RIP Rico

This week we lost a family member. Andrew's little buddy Rico passed away. The memorial service was held on Thursday. We will all miss little Rico. Here is a short tribute in memory of our furry family member.

New PartnerShip Website Launched Today!

It's been a while since I posted a Hollywood "Marketing" message to the blog. So here's something that's a pretty big deal. Today, we launched a new website at PartnerShip. I have been working with my team for over six months on the design, development, testing and, finally, the launch of this new website (things take a little while to get done at small companies). Before the launch, I had the opportunity to deliver a fun, kick-off presentation to all employees last week Thursday. I used some images, music and sound bites from the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey to poke fun at the "journey" it took to get the website completed. But the journey finally came to an end today (or at least a stop in the road). The new website will be a great foundation for the company to realize its strategy going forward.
