I cover the Boston Bruins and NCAA Hockey here at The Hockey Writers. Born and raised 10 miles north of Boston, I developed a love for the game of ice hockey at a very young age.

Bruins Playoffs: Second Round or Bust
April 10th, 2018 At the beginning of the 2017-18 season, the Boston Bruins were on the outside looking in. The team was expected to barely squeak into the playoffs - if that - with very few pegging them as Cup contenders. All over New England, the expectation was simple: make it to the second round. The way the Bruins performed throughout the latter...
Minnesota-Duluth: 2018 NCAA Champions
April 8th, 2018 The NCAA Hockey season has reached its end. Over the course of seven months, 60 teams were boiled down to just two, and Saturday night, two became one. The University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs (UMD) topped the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, taking home the program's second national championship in its history. It seemed as though the...
Frozen Four Final: Notre Dame & Minnesota-Duluth
April 7th, 2018 There is something about college hockey that is so entertaining. Maybe it's the number of teams across the nation fighting for supremacy. Maybe it's the lack of stardom, setting the stage for young players to make a name for themselves as they forge their path to professional hockey careers. Maybe it's the speed and sheer...
