“From the Blueline- NHL Connect Fights Cancer:

A Collection of Connect Blogs from 2008”

Working Table of Contents

11/17/08

These pages are the current assemblage, subject to change especially when real “book” formatting comes along. This is just so you can get a feel for what the book will look like. All blogs listed are assembled in the current draft, and the executive team will start working on edits this week. PS- formatting on this website stinks- bear with me!

Since I understand that actual publishing will reduce page numbers from the MS Word fomrat I am drafting in, I think it would be great to have extra blogs. We need some blogs on the "Thrill of Victory", I can always move my "Nothing but Love" to that section, but I'd like to see a blog by an unrepresented team- if there is a good blogger out there I just missed please let me know. Also, I'd like one more killer blog for the final blog- in the the Love of the Game Chapter. Any suggestions?

If you would like your blogs to be ordered differently, please let me know ASAP, I made no decisions about how to order- so if you want to lead with something stronger or more heartfelt in your personal sections- let me know!

As I mentioned before, three bloggers are out of alphabetical order: Motley Su, because her Hockey Fights Cancer Blog is perfect and topical; Me, because I selfishly wanted to be No. 8 AND because I wanted to break up two consecutive Wings fans, so I also switched Kate and jleWings.
