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. I am a journalism major currently taking a semester off from school to figure out the next step. I also write about the Bruins for blackngoldhockey.com. There's nothing better than hockey, though steak tips are a close second.
