Edgar Chaput

Born and bred in Montreal, I've enjoyed hockey since I was a wee lad. One of the first games I ever watched was Game 5 of the 1993 Stanley Cup final, the last time the Canadiens won the Cup...or were barely good. Curse or happenstance? Football, soccer, and basketball followed and are still important to this day but let's be honest. As a Canadian sports fan hockey never goes away! I cover the Seattle Kraken for The Hockey Writers.
