Spencer Bacon
My name is Spencer Bacon, I am a 26 year old from Victoria, BC. I played junior hockey all around North America and attended Mercyhurst University in Erie, PA on a hockey scholarship and played for the Division 1 NCAA team. I have an Honours B.A. in National Security Intelligence Studies and am coming off a year of professional hockey, primarily for the Columbus Cottonmouths of the SPHL. I am a big time hockey nerd and hope to bring a fresh perspective to THW from being so closely removed from the game we all love.
