Dean Plunkett

Grew up in the 'hockey town' that launched the careers of Bob Gainey, Roger Neilson, Scotty Bowman, Chris Pronger and Steve Yzerman, to name only a few - Peterborough, Ontario. Spent a misguided life in the world of politics. (Sorry Mom) Trying to atone for those sins by publishing the best hockey stuff available. You can email me directly at Dean@TheHockeyWriters.com. I don't accept emails written in Sanskrit or asking me to help you transfer your family funds from Nairobi...even if you are a Prince. Thank you.
