About

My name is Michael Wagner and I am the Featured Columnist 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 (preferably in a sports based company)

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.

If you ever want to talk about Blackhawks Hockey, Cubs baseball. Padres baseball or working together on an article for The Bleacher Report then drop me a line at:
