Christopher Babos

I am a multi-sport credentialed writer covering the Washington Capitals for The Hockey Writers and a Hybrid Lead Writer (Philadelphia Flyers & Philadelphia Eagles) for Schneps Media - Philadelphia Sport Network. Producer and co-host of weekly Flyers video podcast, "Shoot! Another Flyers Show" on Thursday nights at 6 p.m. EST on YouTube. If I'm not writing hockey, I am probably watching it somewhere as a scout for the USPHL's Hershey Cubs in the Philadelphia region.
