William Grigsby

I grew up in Chicago, so I was a Blackhawk fan. I saw the likes of Bobby Hull, Stan Makita, and Glenn Hall play at the old Chicago Stadium. When I moved to Phoenix in 74, I became a Roadrunners fan. The WHA was wild and exciting. When the Coyotes began play in '95, I decided to follow them. I love to write about hockey, and I hope my readers enjoy my work. I'm excited about my new opportunity with The Hockey Writers covering the Utah HC. I will always try to keep my readers informed and entertained. After all, it's about you.. the fans.
