Stephen Brotherston is another frustrated long time Toronto Maple Leafs hockey fan, who started going to Raptor games in the “Skydome” and became a Raptors season ticket holder.

These posts represent just one Raptors season ticketholder's view as seen from behind the basket. The game is different in person as opposed to on TV or in the boxscore - and a lot more fun to watch!

Also very interested in Canadian politics and “green” issues (and the lack of attention they get at the federal level). Former executive of the Progressive Conservative Youth in Hamilton West, now the candidate for the Green Party on Hamilton Mountain.

My first dozen articles accumulated over 10,000 reads.
In the first 2 months, my articles had over 33,000 reads and I was honored briefly with the no. 1 NBA writer rank on the B/R.

Its been a blast so far.
Thanks for reading.

My (Pre-)Preseason Guide to the Toronto Raptors 2009 Season is now available at: http://sbrother.wordpress.com/raptors-2009-preseason-guide/

My articles are now regularly featured at: http://www.tosports.ca/

    Since all else has failed, I see no reason for the Knicks not to sign Allen Iverson.

    As a Knicks Featured Columnist, I will be making periodical attempts to give fans an inside look at the different aspects of Knicks games. Take a look at what I came up with when Lebron James came to visit.
