About

"I know that it's coming, I just hope that I'm alive for it."

My name is Patrick Cwiklinski and I'm an 18-year-old student currently enrolled at the University of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia.

My passion for sports and writing go back almost as far as I can remember but I only found my life's passion in Grade 10 when I was lucky enough to attend a work experience week at The Province newspaper's sports division in Vancouver.

Upon returning I was motivated to begin writing in my own community and so I took to our high school's football team when they were in need of someone to send in game articles to my island's weekly newspaper, the Gulf Islands Driftwood.

After a few months of writing for the football and basketball teams, I was offered the Driftwood's first ever sports column and I'm proud to say that "Let's Talk Sports" is still around and kicking today as I prepare for my life beyond my small community of Salt Spring Island that I've grown to love.

Most recently, I began writing on Bleacher Report and the experience has been very rewarding in the sense that I'm able to get direct feedback on articles and know about the things that people enjoy about my writing as well as the things I still need to work on.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank every one who has signed up as one of my fans, I'm very flattered and humbled you've taken an interest in my work and I hope I won't disappoint.
