About Cecile »

My name is Cecile. I'm currently a senior at Santa Clara University in the process of completing my bachelor's degree in communication. I'm also the sports editor for The Santa Clara, the school's award-winning, official newspaper. I have a great staff so be sure to check out our work at www.thesantaclara.com every week or pick up the newspaper every Thursday!

I'm from the Bay Area therefore I'm a huge Bay Area sports fan!

Some of my favorite things:

Team: San Jose Sharks, Oakland A's, Golden State Warriors, Santa Clara Broncos, Buffalo Sabres, and Montreal Canadien. My all-time sports hero is Mario Lemieux. And I love the look and feel of a clean sheet of ice. :)

I hate Santa Clara but it's awesome to see a fellow Asian sports writer. I'll be reading your stuff in the future.

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

I've been spending time on our Sharks 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

I actually just joined. I saw it on your facebook and then read some blog on yahoo that referenced it. This seems like a fun site for me to rant and rave about hockey!

Cecile, that was a great edit. The title is a little cheeky. Hey, I skated @ the Bell Centre in Montreal in December. You talk about nice ice. We had just gone on after watching the Habs practice (cool) and the ice was awesome. We were @ a CCM/RBK equipment test day and even on new skates that ice was crisp, fast and tres bien! Thanks again on the ed.

Hi there Cecile,

I just wanted to say thanks to my first BleacherReport editor, and the generous response. I guess I showed a bit of laxity; I tend to introduce each team fully at first mention in a piece, but I didn't really revise well before posting. I tend to enjoy editing, but it is always different with one's own work, and I was impatient to publish. Anyroad, I appreciate the fine tuning... it looks great.

I also tend to forget about the spacing for online. Once again, looks great, thanks.

Until recently I've been writing for a very specific audience, so it's neat to see what everyone thinks and what they are up to in a venue that has a broader scope.

I did just want to let you know (in case you checked back and thought I was mad/illiterate) that I reverted the spellings of afew words that you edited. It must have looked pretty sloppy in places, but the spellings I use are of the Canadian/British variety. Perhaps you didn't realise that words like realise and organisation are spelled with "s" instead of "z" (although some people use both spellings). I also use the "u" in honour, favour, colour etc, and the "re" rather than "er" of things like theatre, metre, and centre. Didn't want to alarm you!

Also, did you find the use of the term "the Oil" ineffectual? That is one of the terms for Edmonton, but I left your edit because it looked good. Just wanted to check if that might be local term, but I thought I'd heard it on HNIC.

Anyway, thanks again! Take care and see you on the boards! Neat to see Campbell in SJ
