Alan's Bio
I'm very simple: I love to write and I love hockey more than anything in the world.
I am currently attending Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA. I will be majoring in psychology and minoring in business. This is to answer all questions about whether or not I want to go into journalism. No I don't (my school doesn't offer journalism anyway), but my first year seminar was a journalism class and I plan on taking other classes like this.
My dream is to go into hockey management and one can easily see why through all of my hockey articles.
I am the community leader for the NHL and Philadelphia Flyers pages on Bleacher Report and greatly enjoy writing.
I am also a writer for Hockey54.com, Insidehockey.com and Prohockeynews.com.
I recently interned with The Hockey News magazine and continue to write for the website.
If you have any questions about anything or anyone on this site or if you just want to talk hockey, please feel free to message me on BR, Facebook, through e-mail at BergHockey24@gmail.com or through AIM at ALN424.
Thank you to everyone for continuing to read my articles and good luck with your own writing!
