About

I have a passion for sports in general, however I mostly enjoy NHL Hockey, CFL Football, and I also enjoy Women's Hockey. I am a baseball fan as well.

Hockey is still my number one sport. I enjoy playing, watching and writing about hockey. While I was not good enough to make a career of playing the game, writing about it is a great way to share my passion with others.

Thanks to Bleacher Report for providing an outlet for my passion for hockey to be used.

    thanks for becoming a fan.

    looking at your shortlist its nice to see new lacrosse fans, it's an amazing sport that really hasn't got the attention that it deserves.

    You’ll all be happy to know that I am pushing the publication date of the magazine back to around November 15th when the playoffs will be starting. It just doesn’t make much sense to put one out at the end of October. This is good because I am also busy right now as I am sure you all are.

    Anyway, the theme for our playoff preview will be, “Why the … will win the Cup”. For our team section we will be doing one article for each team that makes the playoffs stating why they have a shot to win the Grey Cup. I think this is fitting because any team can win in the playoffs. Obviously every playoff team hasn’t been determined, but if you would like to write an article about a certain team let me know, even if they haven’t secured a playoff spot. I already have one writer for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and I assume Calgary Stampeders, so every other team except the Toronto Argonauts are up for grabs. Similiarrily, if you would like to write a team article for a team that doesn’t make the playoffs you can as well. The team previews will basically be first come first serve (unless you are a team writer who has been writing about a particular team all season long in which case you can have the chance if you would like)

    Also, for our playoff preview, it would be cool if everyone made their predictions once the teams were determined. This way I could list all of the previews and we could see who is right at the end. Also, if each writer could send a list anytime of who they think the league all-star team should be then I could once again put them all together.

    Besides these playoff previews, if you have any other idea for an article, preferably something that kind of wraps up the regular season let me know. Also, if you have an idea for a monthly column or something let me know as well.

    Finally, if you own a website or write for a site and would like to advertise it on the mag let me know. It of course will be free. You can either send me a rough design of your add or just tell me what you would like to say.

    If you have any questions give me a shout

    Thanks
    Jonathan
