About Chris »

My name's Chris. I'm 22 years old, living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Sports is my life. I don't play the games, but I follow them religously. I like the statistics part of sports, and always know little tidbits about the numbers.
Hockey (both the NHL and CHL), the CFL, and MMA are my favorite sports. Favorite NHL team is the hometown Flames, favorite CFL team is the Grey Cup Champion Calgary Stampeders, and my favorite mixed-martial-artist is Anderson "the spider" Silva. Honorable mention goes to Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez, Thiago Silva, and the "axe murderer" Wanderlei Silva.

Hey Chris—Max Tcheyan here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our NHL page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at mtcheyan@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,
Max

Hey Chris,
Thanks for the comment, and for reading my articles.
I could have gone on-and-on about this ridiculous shootout thing!

Hey Chris,

I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Chris!
