Hockey has been a big part of my life since watching my first Leafs game to currently coaching minor hockey. I previously interned at The Hockey News and worked on Toronto Marlies broadcasts for Rogers TV. Aside from hockey, I also enjoy drumming, animation and impressions/ voices.

Maple Leafs' 2019-20 Projected Lineup

Maple Leafs' 2019-20 Projected Lineup

August 26th, 2019 Heading into this offseason, Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas had a major challenge ahead. In order to be competitive and make it past the first-round in the Stanley Cup playoffs, he had to tweak his roster. Moves were going to be made, but we didn't expect the amount and magnitude of some of the decisions such as clearing...
Maple Leafs' Matthews Continues to Make His Mark

Maple Leafs' Matthews Continues to Make His Mark

August 4th, 2019 When the Toronto Maple Leafs drafted Auston Matthews first overall in 2016, he already exuded elite, superstar potential after a standout draft season playing with the Zurich Lions in the Swiss Hockey League. Since Mats Sundin left, the team has dreamed of acquiring a number one centreman to help lead this team to a Stanley Cup. We knew...
Breaking Down the David Clarkson Deal

Breaking Down the David Clarkson Deal

July 26th, 2019 Late Tuesday night, Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas made a deal that left everyone asking questions. David Clarkson and a fourth-round pick were acquired from the Vegas Golden Knights for back-up goaltender Garrett Sparks. This deal was unexpected and very questionable. It does seem odd that the Maple Leafs would...
Maple Leafs: Nylander Needs to Be with Matthews

Maple Leafs: Nylander Needs to Be with Matthews

July 15th, 2019 When the Toronto Maple Leafs first put William Nylander alongside franchise centre Auston Matthews, we knew that the duo was going to be good. After their first game against the Ottawa Senators, it was obvious that they connected and were becoming one of the Maple Leafs’ key offensive dynamos. That trend would continue until the...
Maple Leafs' Dubas Exceeds Expectations This Off-Season

Maple Leafs' Dubas Exceeds Expectations This Off-Season

July 5th, 2019 About a month ago, THW’s Brian Joyce wrote a fantastic article about this off-season being Kyle Dubas’ first real test as Toronto Maple Leafs general manager. After getting through two major contract negotiations, one including William Nylander, Dubas has hit another contract impasse with Mitch Marner and his camp. The debacle...
Maple Leafs Could Fill Roster Spots Internally

Maple Leafs Could Fill Roster Spots Internally

June 28th, 2019 As a result of the Toronto Maple Leafs current cap situation, along with the trade of Patrick Marleau, it’s now known that the team isn’t in the market for a big name free agent. It makes sense as Mitch Marner is the main priority. At the NHL Draft, TSN’s Bob McKenzie reported that the estimated figures for the contracts of...
Maple Leafs Should be Inspired by Raptors' Title

Maple Leafs Should be Inspired by Raptors' Title

June 16th, 2019 Imagine this scenario; a major Toronto-based sports team accomplishes its goal of finally winning a championship. The fanbase is ecstatic and going off on a party bender celebrating the win. To get to this high point, they’ve endured multiple years of issues and failure, but in the end it was all worth it. This is what happened...
Maple Leafs' Cap Situation Not as Bad as It Seems

Maple Leafs' Cap Situation Not as Bad as It Seems

June 12th, 2019 Since last year, the Toronto Maple Leafs have been constantly labeled as a team that would be in “cap trouble.” Those two words have been linked to the Maple Leafs since William Nylander signed his extension and then when Auston Matthews signed his. And now, it’s Mitch Marner’s time to continue that trend, if he re-signs....
