Ryan Szporer

After 10 years of writing hockey, Ryan decided it was as good a time as any to actually join The Hockey Writers for the 2014-15 season. Having appeared as a guest on such programs as CBC Radio One's Daybreak, Ryan has also written for the Montreal Gazette and Bleacher Report and worked for the NHL itself and his hometown Montreal Canadiens. He currently writes about all things Habs for THW, with it being a career highlight for him to have covered the 2021 Stanley Cup Final as a credentialed member of the press.

Bergevin Was Right to Trade Galchenyuk for Domi

Ryan Szporer | January 23, 2019

The Time for Canadiens to Ride Price Isn’t This Season

Ryan Szporer | January 20, 2019
