Born and raised in New Hampshire, I grew up playing hockey and cheering for the Minnesota North Stars. When they moved to Dallas in 1993, I parted ways with the franchise, vowing to never root for a team that played hockey in Texas.
Ironically, nearly 30 years later, I am now a proud Texan, living with my fiancée in Dallas. And having lived here for more than three years now, I can honestly say that the Stars have an awesome fan base, are more knowledgeable about hockey than I expected, and are truly passionate about their team.
A former newspaper sports writer, covering the Boston Bruins for more five years, turned cybersecurity sales rep – I'm excited for the opportunity to work for THW and provide my insights on all things Dallas Stars.
