“From the Blueline- NHL Connect Fights Cancer:
A Collection of Connect Blogs from 2008”


Table of Contents
11/26/08

These pages are the most current assemblage, subject to change especially when real “book” formatting comes along. This is just so you can follow the project and alert me to any errors or omissions. All blogs listed are assembled in the draft. 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.
