Wray Perkin

Wray has been an NHL fan long enough to remember when Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne were linemates, as well as when Colorado and Detroit had a brutal rivalry. Wray has seven years' experience serving as the Sports Writer for Mount Allison University's student newspaper, The Argosy, as well as two years as the Sackville Tribune-Post's student reporter. After covering football, basketball, and hockey at the university level, Wray worked for four years with the CFL's Ottawa Redblacks in a behind-the-scenes capacity, and while currently living in New Brunswick (Canada), is doing lots of writing and podcasting for various topics, including CFL football, movies and television.
