Colin Gallant

A graduating student in the joint Media, Theory and Production program at Western University and Fanshawe College in London, Ontario, Colin Gallant has been writing about hockey since his junior year of high school. He followed the Western Mustangs men's hockey team in his first year of post-secondary, and now covers the London Knights for Fanshawe's newspaper. He's been with The Hockey Writer's since January of 2017. An aspiring sports journalist, play-by-play announcer, or anything else hockey related, he loves reading, playing guitar, and (hopelessly) cheering for the Vancouver Canucks.
