Cheryl grew up as a Hartford Whalers fan, and was introduced to the Blackhawks fandom in the late 1990s. She created the Hockey Broad website (www.hockeybroad.com), which is aimed at showcasing female fans' serious dedication to hockey. Her work has appeared on Puck Daddy, the LA Kings website, and TheHockeyWriters.com. Since she started writing about hockey in March 2010, the Blackhawks have won three Stanley Cups -- which may or may not be a coincidence.
