About Nick »

[WRITER'S NOTE: With the Gateway's publishing year now in full effect, my contributions to B/R will be significantly less than they have been in the past month or so. However, I'm not going away completely — look for some short-form pieces from me in the near future.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Former sports editor and current Managing Editor at The Gateway (the official student newspaper of the University of Alberta — www.thegatewayonline.ca) I've been involved with journalism going on five years now, and hope to become a hockey writer at some point. I've been a fan of the sport (and sports in general) from as far back as I can remember.

Thus far, I've had the pleasure of interviewing Jordan Eberle and Ryan O'Marra (Edmonton Oilers prospects), Rob Daum (head coach of the AHL's Springfield Falcons), Don Horwood (former University of Alberta men's basketball coach, CBC commentator during 1996 Summer Olympics), among others.

I also enjoy long walks on the beach, getting cozy by the fireplace, and making love — all three with some Barry White playing in the background.

Check out my most recent Gateway piece — University of Alberta Golden Bears football season preview for 2009: http://www.thegatewayonline.ca/articles/sports/2009/08/27/bears-football-seeking-turn-around-last-year-s-disappointment-2009

All Time Sports Moment

Either Todd Marchant's overtime winner in Game 7 of EDM/DAL in 1996/97 Western Conference Quarterfinals, or Fernando Pisani's overtime winner in Game 5 of EDM/CAR in 2005/06 Stanley Cup Finals.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Game 3, Edmonton Oilers vs Dallas Stars at Skyreach Centre, 1996/97 Western Conference Quarterfinals—Oilers down 3-0 with about five minutes left in the third, come back to win 4-3 in overtime. Thank you Kelly Buchberger, Mike Grier, Andrei Kovalenko, and Doug Weight.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Any of Wayne Gretzky's scoring records.
Ruth or Mays?

I'll be honest: I'm not educated enough on either to make a judgment call.
Unitas or Montana?

John Elway.
Jordan or Russell?

Michael Jordan.
Gretzky or Orr?

I could make arguments for both, but I'll go with Wayne Gretzky.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele.
Federer or Sampras?

Rafael Nadal.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Arnold Palmer, solely because of the drink named after him.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Not a racing fan.
Schumacher or Senna?

See "Petty of Earnhardt?"
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Canadian Interuniversity Sport FTW.
