I am a proud Ohio University graduate, where I got both my bachelor's and master's degree in journalism; I also played on the club hockey team for four years. I have been blogging about the NHL for about the last ten years and am an avid Pittsburgh Penguins fan. I currently live in Columbus, OH with my wife and 2-year-old son, Graham. As a hobby, I compete in strongman competitions and still get on the ice once or twice a week. Hockey is the greatest sport on earth!
