My name is Melissa Grissom. I am 28 year old who is currently writing a blog on my own besides writing for Bleacher Report. I am also trying to keep myself busy by not always obesssing over if the Dallas Stars loose or not. I am also trying to find myself in this big world and trying to figure out what I really want to do in my life. I am basically here to write about hockey and here to report more on the Dallas Stars but will try to keep up with other teams in the NHL. I also will try to make own predictions for awards and other interesting stuff in the NHL.

I am from Dallas, Texas as I am a huge Dallas Stars but was born in Dearborn Michigan in 1983. I've been a huge Dallas Stars fan since they won the cup in 1999 but a huge hockey since I was 14 living in Detroit. I started loving hockey when I saw Steve Yzerman playing for the Red Wings and he was an amazing player. He was the most dedicated player in the league and showed me to never give up on your dreams.

Also Brenden Morrow has shown me what type of player he can be in the playoffs and the season. He has grown into that leadership they gave him during the 2006-07 season and one of the most mature players in the league. He doesn't give dirty hits as he is one of the cleanist players in the NHL and he's shown me also to never give up on what you want the most in your life.

Marty St. Louis last year in the playoffs was the biggest inspiration for me to start writing again. That guy can play.
