Geoff Plowman October 1988
I played hockey with Geoff in the Longmeadow Hockey Association. He was a fierce competitor and one tough defenseman. He was a true hockey "Goon". Every team needs one! We won a Pioneer Valley Championship together when we were 13. Geoff died on his Harley Davidson. Submitted by Jay Holsing Color photo by Ross Emery.
