Jason Sulham

Born in Vermont, I started skating at age 4 on the lake and was lacing it up for the mite team the next year. At age 6, and much to my father's dismay - a Bruins fan from Worcestor, MA - I received a pair of hand me down Canadien PJs that sealed my fate as life long Habs fan. I'm OK with it. My work in politics and public affairs brought me to Raleigh, NC where I currently live with my wife, herself a hockey player from Lake Placid, and our son. My essays have been featured in Carolina Hockey Magazine and publish my own web magazine, www.Spopitics.com. After years of writing for other people, I am excited to be writing for myself on The Hockey Writers about a game I love and that has so much to do with who I am. Follow me @JasonSulham

The “It” of Hockey

Jason Sulham | October 29, 2012

How Bobby Orr Saved Me $107

Jason Sulham | October 22, 2012

Lockout Opportunity: Hits to the Head

Jason Sulham | September 21, 2012

The NHL has entered its third lockout in as many tries under Mr. Bettman’s commissionership. The fissure, and therefore the dominating storyline, centers on distribution of hockey related revenue, contract…

Lockout Opportunity: Back to the Future

Jason Sulham | September 18, 2012

The NHL has entered its third lockout in as many tries under Mr. Bettman’s commissionership. The fissure, and therefore the dominating storyline, centers on distribution of hockey related revenue, contract…

What the Lockout Deprives Us Of

Jason Sulham | September 16, 2012

Brooks Laich brilliantly said a lockout happens “when adults get in the way of a kids game.” This weekend the NHL will enter the third lockout in as many opportunities…

Lockout Opportunity: No More Neutral Zone Trap

Jason Sulham | September 12, 2012

Coming out of the last lockout, reforms were made not just to the distribution of finances, but to the actual on ice product. It was another example of an age…

Sponsorships… Sell out completely

Jason Sulham | September 9, 2012

Sports bring simplicity to every season. Baseball in the summer is the perfect lazy sport for lazy days and a lazy guy… can’t miss. NFL Sundays in the fall provide…

A fan guide to surviving “Lockout Part 2: Fehr Game.”

Jason Sulham | September 4, 2012

Kid yourself if it helps. “They’ll come to an agreement. They can’t be that greedy, right? (Nervous laughter followed by a panic attack).” But we know a lockout is coming.…

Jason Sulham | August 30, 2012

As a youth hockey player the hockey road trip made my weekend. Usually, a teammate would ride with us or I would hop in their car for between game trips,…
