My specialty in writing about women's ice hockey. I started writing online on Wikipedia back in July 2005 (after discovering the site by complete accident). My motivation for writing about women’s ice hockey stemmed from the fact that there were so many contributors writing about men’s sports, and finding any info online about women’s ice hockey was difficult. My inspiration came from Andria Hunter, who was one of the first to create a website devoted solely to women’s ice hockey.

Hi Mark. The editor CMS has been doing some bizarre things with photos lately, and unfortunately, the primary photo in the Amanda Shaw piece I edited earlier now has a photo of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich. And since there aren't any photos of Shaw that appear in either of the B/R photo databases, I was wondering if you could re-upload the one you originally had when you get a chance. Thanks.

It is impressive to me the way you keep churning out well-researched articles on a topic most people don't know anything about.
