Words from the
We blinked and it’s the middle of May. How did that happen?
publisher...
We’re down to hockey going on in the junior and pro ranks, while all other levels are preparing for the 2026-27 season, taking some time off, or playing spring hockey.
And while it may be the offseason, one may think the news stops in hockey? And if you thought that, the packed 32 pages in this edition say otherwise. Lots going on and certainly more to come as we get into the summer months and closer to next season.
Want to join the program here with Rubber? Call or text me at (248) 890-3944 or get all the details by sending me an email at mackindermedia@yahoo.com.
Until this time next month... --Matt
