Derek's Bio

Hey everyone, thanks for reading my stuff, my name, as you know is Derek, and I'm just a guy from Ontario Canada who loves hockey (hey, who doesn't)

m proud to be a part of Bleacher report, and I will be bringing you the latest coverage of the Toronto Maple Leafs. I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Derek Writes About

The Short List facts and information about Derek Harmsworth

Favorite Athletes

I'm certain I'll leave someone out, so I hope you can edit this.. Hockey: Matt Stajan, Mats Sundin, Anton Stralman, Alex Ovechkin, Joe Thornton, and too many goalies to name Football: Vince Young, Brett Favre, Brian Urlacher, Paul Pozlusny Baseball: David Eckstein, Derek Jeter, Josh Beckett Soccer: Any one from the England national team, lol, Joe Cole has to be my favourite though. Lacrosse: Blaine Manning, Bob Watson, John Tavares, I think I covered them all, probably not though.

Favorite Sports Teams

Maple Leafs Blue Jays Toronto Rock Tennessee Titans England national soccer team Chelsea of the EPL

All Time Sports Moment

hmm, see to me sports are all about moments. Sure the scores count, but it's the moments that make sports, like Ray Bourque finally getting to hoist the cup, Joe Carter lifting the Toronto Blue Jays to TWO consecutive world series' Things like that, memories are what makes sports so special

Most Memorable Game Attended

Can't say I've been to too many important games in sports history, but they were all memorable to me. Canada vs USA in the field lacrosse championships was awesome like two summers ago, and the few Leafs games I have been too. My most memorable game will probably be this summer, when me and my bro take a roady to New York city to see the Jays play the Yankees in the jays final appearance in the famous Yankee Stadium.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

hmm, anymore I'm not sure any record is unbreakable, but i would say Glenn Hall's record of playing every game of the season (Hall was an NHL goalie for those who are unfamiliar.) For the record, I do think someone will score 93 goals some day in the NHL (that could be hopeful optimism though..)

Ruth or Mays?

Mays. Too young to see either of them play, but I think as good as Ruth was, and he truly was, Mays was a guy who could do it all, hit, run, steal, play D, so I'll say Mays

Unitas or Montana?

Again, a little too young, but I would say Steve Young is my personal pick over both of them (not saying he was better or anything, just a personal thing.) Young was in his hay day when I was a kid, so there were many days I was playing Steve Young in my backyard.

Pele or Maradona?

As a kid with an English background, I will never choose Maradona (hand of god my foot :)) So I go with Pele.

Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

I don't watch much college football, but when I do, I cheer Notre Dame, so the indys I guess

    Dammit, I keep posting things on my own profile by accident. I'm used to the wall-to-wall system on facebook...

    It would have to be earlier than 4 your time tomorrow. I get off work at 4:30 your time and they lock the building then, so I can't stay later.

    Thanks Derek! I'm really excited about trying to do a show. It's something that is really expressive and can be very original. For sure, I'm up for listening to your show and to promoting your show as well.

    Keep it up man

    Hey Derek,
    Check out my new Blackhawks article where I discuss their additions, subtractions and future possible moves. Thought since I probably couldn't make it on the show I would give you my list.
    Let me know what you think and if you could use it

    Thanks for the invite...Might need to get Skype and a mic for my computer in case you need me in the future : )

    Hey, have you ever been in an online sim league with Eastside Hockey Manager? I'm in a really good league that's trying to recruit some new general managers.
