Which Defensemen Could the Chicago Blackhawks Target at the Trade Deadline?
02/08/2010
My name is Michael Wagner and I am the Community Leader for the Chicago Blackhawks and a top ten writer for the NHL section. 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.
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.
In September I will begin writing about the Chicago Blackhawks on Fan Huddle, along with fellow Bleacher Report writer Tab Bamford. I hope that many of you will look to that site for for more in-depth coverage on the Blackhawks
