Currently a journalism student at Algonquin College in Ottawa, I have always had a passion for the OHL and the Ottawa 67's in particular. I have been attending games since I was young, and being involved with sports has always been a dream of mine. Sports writing fits perfectly into that. You can also find me talking hockey on my podcast, Hockey Prospect Report, or you can find me talking Canadian Football on my other podcast and website the 13th Man Podcast!
