Sentimental 65th birthday present gives voice to a winning hockey team
When varsity hockey coach Carl Collins said goodbye to his seniors at his teams end of year award ceremony, it also happened to be his 65th birthday. On that meaningful day, he received a meaningful 65th birthday group gift that was far more meaningful than any hockey trophy his players or fellow coaches could ever give him. He received a special CD filled with the voices of his colleagues, his graduating players, and their parents, expressing their thanks and warm wishes. The recordings ranged from funny to sentimental, and showed him how much he had meant to the Fighting Tigers.
“I go out there and urge my players to make me proud every day. I’ve always focused on the players, and when they gave me this gift it demonstrated how much my coaching meant to them personally”.
The players and their parents wanted to give the coach a unique present that was very personal. But, with hectic schedules, the players and their parents knew that the group gift would have to be simple for everyone to contribute to.
The gift the coach received is called LifeOnRecord.
Team mom, Samantha Greenberg, got the idea when her husband gave her a LifeOnRecord CD as a personalized birthday gift.
The process is simple: family and friends call a toll-free number and are directed to record a favorite story, memory or wish. Theres no limit on the number of callers that can phone-in or on the total number of recordings you receive. The recordings can be downloaded for free using iTunes so that you can make your own compact disc, or LifeOnRecord can create a keepsake CD with a personalized label and metal case. An unlimited plan with free download capability into iTunes costs $49.99, or an unlimited plan with a keepsake CD costs $74.98.
It is a unique, affordable service that allows you to create a highly personal gift with ease.
“These young men mean a lot to me, and this is the perfect way for me to remember them and their impact after my coaching days are over. The mom who organized and put this together is my hero”.
If you’d like to be a hero to your loved one, you can purchase LifeOnRecord and give them a unique birthday gift.

Les Miserables: The 10th Anniversary Dream Cast in Concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall $24.89 The 10th anniversary concert video of the international musical sensation Les Misérables might be the best thing to appease fans until a full-fledged movie comes along.

Moneyball $7.65 It’s amazing that Moneyball makes baseball statistics seem fascinating–but that’s because it’s not really a movie about numbers, and it’s not really a movie about baseball, either. It’s about what drives people to take risks–in this instance, Billy Beane (played by Brad Pitt), general manager of the Oakland A’s, who’s just had his best players poached by teams that can afford to pay a lot more. … |
