Always has current injury reports so you know who to expect on the ice. In-depth look at the business end of the Habs, as well. Very knowledgeable in all aspects of the sport. Truly the only source needed for Canadiens hockey news and information. Professionally written and an easy read."

Writer bio
While I love all the other sports - football, baseball (former collegiate player) and basketball (also a former collegiate player, albeit only to the JV level) - I am OBSESSED with hockey!
While I pride myself on objective reporting, it doesn't mean it comes without a struggle, seeing as how much I love the CBJ.
What motivates my writing is to tell a story - one the mainstream media refuses to do, with their O-6 and all things Canadian team biases - about one of the truly great stories in the NHL, the rising to power of the CBJ.
