Checking in with... Tom Cavanagh
September 2, 2008
Hey everybody,
It is great to be back with the Sharks for another season, I’m really looking forward to it. Here‘s what I‘ve been up to…
After the season, I headed out to San Jose for the playoffs. It was a great experience to take in all the playoff action and also to have some time to get to know the city. That last game in Dallas was unbelievable, it felt like it would never end…
When I came back from San Jose I went home to Warwick, RI and took a few weeks off, during which time I had surgery on my knee and elbow just to clear up a few minor injuries from the long year. Everything went really well and I was back on my feet in no time. So then it was right to rehab for a month or so, and now I’m back to 100%…so that’s good. I moved up to Boston in June and am working out and living up here. I’ve been lifting with Tom Walsh and Dennis Packard at Harvard and there‘s a couple trainers who help us out, so we’re getting into really good shape. And it’s my first time back to this area since I graduated so it’s been nice to reconnect with friends and former players and coaches while I’ve been up here. I’ve yet to take in a Red Sox game but hopefully that will change in the next month.
On the weekends I’ve been heading down to the beach in RI to get out of the heat. Also, I love digging clams, and Southern RI is a great place to do it, so it’s been a nice way to relax and make myself some good dinners at the same time. I might have to freeze some clam sauce for the hockey season. It’s also a good chance to visit with family and friends from home. One highlight of the summer was my sister Carol’s wedding just last weekend in Providence. It was a really great time. I was a groomsman in the wedding and had a great time seeing a lot of old friends and relatives.
Well, that’s about it, it’s been a pretty low-key summer for me. The season will be here before we know it. I’m really excited to go to training camp out in SJ and to kick off another year…hope everyone’s doing well.
All the best,
Tom
