Philly.com made a sharp move by adding Bernie Parent to its team. His new venture will allow a "Broad Street-sized" audience to have access to his inspiring thoughts.
I was fortunate to get to know Bernie three years ago. I spent part of a day interviewing Bernie at his office one-on-one. He's a good guy, who achieved Hall of Fame success as a professional hockey player and personal peace during a second career as a speaker and author.
Here are my personal notes regarding that interview, as well as another link to some follow-up reflections about the greatest goalie in Philadelphia Flyers' history.

Here is my most recent feature article about a live XFE Cage Wars event that I attended. I encourage fans of any sport to attend one of these events when you can. The excitement of the crowd and the efforts of the fighters will likely win you over to this superb athletic adventure.
