My name is Mikhail Bryan and I joined the THW team in June 2023 covering the Columbus Blue Jackets. I am originally from Ohio and have followed the Blue Jackets since their inception. I currently live in Boston where I am the Assistant Coach for men’s ice hockey at Tufts University (NCAA DIII) as well as a Scout for the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL. I played four years of college hockey at Suffolk University (NCAA DIII) and then got my Masters in Sports Leadership from Northeastern University. In addition to writing for THW, I co-founded a blog called Beyond The Glass (https://beyondtheglasshockey.com/) where we cover different legal, business and player development topics within hockey.
