Tim Brennan

I started my hockey writing experience with Metro Hockey, covering the New Jersey Devils from 2008-10. I co-created the Atlantic Division Hockey blog which ran from March 2010 to July 2011. I hosted a radio show for 90.3 WESS at East Stroudsburg University called Get The Puck Out from August to December 2014. I also played for ESU's Division III hockey team from 2009-2011.
