Aidan Fischer

Howdy, I'm Aidan and I cover the Washington Capitals here at The Hockey Writers. I recently received my bachelor's degree in English with a minor in literature from Christopher Newport University, where I also played on the Division lll club hockey team. I can't get enough puck, whether it be writing about it, watching games, competing in men's league or playing NHL 21. I'm always down for some hockey talk, so feel free to leave comments and feedback on my work!
