About Sean »

Been a hockey fan for my entire life.

I enjoy writing whenever I can.

I have worked on hockey broadcasting teams for events including the Olympics, NHL ALLSTAR GAME, WORLD JUNIOR HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIPS, and NHL CENTRE ICE and LEAF TV broadcasts.

Needles to say I watch a LOT of hockey.

My view on hockey can be summarized as such "A high speed war game with sticks, pucks and gutts"

BTW: I actually produced a song submission to the Hockey Night in Canada Anthem contest for those who are curious you can find it on youtube just search for spaddison.

Hi there,

I have recently started my own project to rank the top 100 hockey players off all-time and just recently posted players 1-10. I would love to hear what you think about my list or for you to even post your own list in the comments section. Please, give it a read!

Hey Sean,

Same thing as before, you ok?

I really enjoyed your articles, they were very humourous. I don't seem to be seeing much of you anymore.

Hey Sean,

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 Sean!
