Michael's Bio
My name is Michael Wagner and I am the Community Leader for the Chicago Blackhawks. Although I am a huge Chicago sports fan I was not raised in the Windy City, rather I was raised in America's Finest City, San DIego, CA. I just recently graduated from Westminster College in Salt Lake City, UT and am currently looking for a job.
I was raised by my father and most of my Chicago based family to be a hardcore Chicago sports fan, my dad now thinks I'm crazy because I live and breathe Chicago sports. I am currently in school attempting to get into Sports Management.
I have just built a new Chicago Blackhawks website named West Madison Times. This site is were I will be doing consistent updates for the playoffs, the offseason and hopefully next season.
Check it out here: http://westmadisontimes.blogspot.com/
I am now also writing for the Los Angeles Kings on http://thehockeywriters.com so check out some of my articles over their.
I am syndicated on a website call Hockey Barn ( http://www.hockeybarn.com/ ), all of my Chicago Blackhawks articles will be featured on that site and I hope many of you will take a look at that site.
If you ever want to talk about Blackhawks Hockey, Cubs baseball or working together on an article for The Bleacher Report then drop me a line at:
