About

I'm currently a full-time student enrolled at Michigan State University (Go Green!), en route to earning a degree in journalism. I'm an unbelievably huge fan of all things hockey, but my favorite team is the Tampa Bay Lightning. Although I'm past my days of playing competitive hockey, I still play casual drop-in and men's league here on campus whenever I can. I hope to pursue a career in hockey-related journalism in the future and I look forward to contributing here on Bleacher Report!

Participated in the Bleacher Report Fall 2011 internship in addition to my studies.

    Very tough, but attending the Big Chill at the Big House and being a part of world record-breaking history was quite the chilling experience (no pun intended of course haha).

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Tie between: Game 5 of the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals... I was 30 seconds away from witnessing the Cup being hoisted on home ice! The 2009 Winter Classic at Wrigley Field was unbelievable, the upbeat atmosphere of playing outdoors again like a kid on a pond was truly special, especially in such a historic sports venue.

    They contact me via e-mail. I've never been contacted by any B/R staff via the internal messaging system. Hopefully they contact you soon!

    Does B/R contact you from e-mail, or B/R messaging.

    Hmm, it should be around the corner. Things work slower on the weekends, generally!

    If I have filled out an application for B/R, and its been a week, with no response. Can it take longer than 3-5 days?

    Hi there, Matt. Not all of them do, but I certainly only write about hockey. It's just been a huge passion since I was a kid, so I roll with it.

    Do B/R writers solely focus on one sport? I see a couple of writers such you, and Kelly Scaletta writing for one sport.

    Thanks for posting, Theodore! That's a great point! Just by under-the-radar, I mean those who are on the fence, often get overlooked. It really all depends on how deep your league is. The guys you mentioned certainly qualify as "under-the-radar," and usually don't get much love at all. I'd also throw Corey Potter, Jay Garrison, and Matt Read on there, too, but I kept it to just ten. There's a great number of candidates that are off to hot starts, and who are seeing big minutes with their clubs.

    Regarding the under the rader article, all great players I have or would have on any of my fantasy hockey teams. But using the words under the radar for those players whats it make players like Leddy,Diaz,De Costa,Parse.Miele,Petry, those I consider under the rader. Everyone one of them plays good minutes for their teams with PP time and decent stats.
