Matt Cosman is a Sheridan College print journalism graduate from Oakville, Ontario. After a stint with The Hockey News, I'm excited to move forward with The Hockey Writers covering the Carolina Hurricanes, one of my favorite childhood teams. When I'm not in my hockey bubble you can probably catch me jamming out on the piano or losing money at the poker tables.
