Goodbye

It appears I have covered my last hockey game.
I won’t be around for the 2007-08 season. My last day at the Journal News is next Tuesday. The following day – Halloween – I’ll be wearing a very strange costume involving a jacket and tie as I start a new gig elsewhere doing some boring financial reporting.
I’d like to be a spectator at some games now, so hopefully I’ll run into a lot of you. Thanks for your support and the sheer volume of comments and involvement that made this blog notorious. Good luck this season.

you will be missed!! thanks for everything and good luck.. will the blog die without you???
I assume the blog will go on under new management, but I don’t know who that will be.
Dan – you truly gave terrific and extensive coverage to High School hockey down here, and I think I can speak for all in saying you did an ABOVE AND BEYOND job! From the games down here, to following North, Suffern and Rye upstate all over the state in last year’s playoffs, you were extremely dedicated and the families of the players truly appreciated the coverage you gave the kids. You will be missed! Best of luck in your new job in the corporate world, and hopefully see you at some Section 1 games!
Are you kidding! YOU CAN”T BE REPLACED!!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT IS THE JOURNAL THINKING. Look at your blogs versus the others…. What a shame.. Things will never be the same.
Your blogs continued throughout the spring, summer and fall. No othe blog can match….......
Good luck to you!
Dan is “THE MAN”
Good Luck Dan
Thanks for your great coverage last year
Good Luck Dan!
You became an immediate hero in local hockey with your honest and even-handed reporting and blogging. Thanks for a great season and enjoy your new gig.
Dan, best wishes in your new career venture. Your reporting and the blog made for a fun HS hockey season. We’ll miss you around here. Hope the new guy (or gal) realizes there are some big shoes to fill at the rinks this winter !!
Can you share where you new byline will be appearing so we can follow your progress?
We just lost our “JOE TORRE”!

Dan thanks for all your coveragein the paper, making ice hockey as big a sport in section 1 as football basketball and baseball. We will miss you, and wish you luck in your new job, whats going on Torre and Kieran in the same week Coach Chap
Dan
I cant really add anymore to what has already been said,but thanks for the great coverage, especially in Utica , You made hockey huge downstate, in a small amount of time, which was a boost it surely needed, Good luck in your new position, but it doesn’t sound like you are going to have as much fun as you did on this blog.
Like some one already said “YOU ARE THE MAN”. Its been a great ride, Section 1 will miss you.
Thanks again and Good luck
To “DAN THE MAN”, again thanks for everything! Does the Journal know who’s taking over for you. If so, then they should get on the Blog with us (NOW)and start talking to us. We don’t bite! (well not that much….LOL).
Hopefully they can identify your replacement before Thanksgiving!
Best of Luck!
I can’t believe you are leaving!!! Who is going to cover the STEPINAC JV TEAM THIS YEAR????

Sorry to see you go Dan, best of luck with your new gig!
