Worcester Tornadoes Will Miss Gedman and Peterman
When I first heard the news that Rich Gedman was leaving the Worcester Tornadoes I have to say I was pretty sad. Having such a popular local figure like Gedman as coach of the Tornadoes definitely had it’s advantages. Having Peterman leaving also within the last couple of months also is a downer. We’ve written […]

Red Sox Nation breathes a sigh of relief today as the X-Rays of Jacoby Ellsbury’s ribs come back negative. According to USAToday he may not even miss any games. Though it may seem to some that Jacoby has be “demoted” with his move to left field I think the fast outfield including Ellsbury is a […]
Championship Ice Hockey Comes to Worcester’s DCU
Boston College will be one of four teams competing for the 2010 NorthEast Ice Hockey Championship at the DCU Center this weekend March 27 and 28. There should be quite a few BC fans at the Worcester DCU Center since it is only 45 or so minutes from Boston. Boston College fought tooth and nail […]

Worcester Tornadoes Change Hands
Yesterday the Worcester Tornadoes announced that “controlling interest” had been sold to a group out of Maryland.
