Kevin Thomas does not always write about baseball. It just seems that way, starting with his early days covering spring training for the St. Petersburg Times, to his current role of bi-locating at both Hadlock Field and Fenway Park, reporting on the Portland Sea Dogs and Boston Red Sox. In the off-season, he still writes about baseball, while venturing to hockey rinks and basketball arenas, especially when it comes to the University of Maine and local colleges.

Colleges: UMaine’s Sullivan a finely tuned goalie
ORONO – When sophomore Dan Sullivan prepares for another pressured game as goalie and cornerstone for the University of Maine hockey team, the pre-game music piped through his headphones is the throbbing beat of techno.
