Best of the Decade, Best of the Year

Since it is the end of the decade (it seems just like last week I was hiding in my bunker with a generator and 1000 cans of Chef Boyardee awaiting Y2K), a lot of websites have taken to "Best of the Decade" posts.

I did name my top ten players of the decade, but otherwise I have left this route to the likes of Puck Daddy and Risto Pakarinen. I point these two out because they are regular reads for me, and because both are highly entertaining.

Here's a look at a few of my favorite posts of 2009:

A History Of Hockey In British Columbia - It's actually a 9 part series plus over 40 biographies!

Hitting The Post - A history of hockey on postage stamps.

Terrace is Hockeyville - My hometown won the nationwide contest to determine Canada's best hockey town, which led to lots of coverage from me.

Chemistry 101: How To Build A Gold Medal Hockey Team - I really wonder how much attention to these details hockey teams place in their order of importance.
