Tom's Bio

Originally from Labrador City, Newfoundland (home of NHL legends such as Chad Penney), I moved to Ottawa to go to school and have been here since.

My favourite teams are the Montreal Canadiens and whoever happens to be playing the Sens next.

When the Habs last won the Cup, my small hometown held a Stanley Cup parade. I'm holding out hope Ottawa will do the same when the Habs hoist the Cup this spring.

I am a lifelong Habs fan, and I feel sorry for those who are jealous of the success of this great franchise.

I also have a blog, found at http://theryancokeexperience.wordpress.com. There's a few sports related things, but it's mostly stuff to do with whatever is on my mind.

Most Memorable Game Attended

Habs beat the Kings 7-2 at the Forum. My first ever hockey game live, Gretzky was just back from an injury, Montreal won and it was a preview of that year's Stanley Cup finals.

Greetings fellow Habs community member,

The playoffs are starting in just two days, and while we are all gearing up with our lucky jerseys and our favourite beers (for those who are legally old enough), our beloved Canadiens are getting ready to make the most of the new chance that has been given to them with this playoff ticket.

Exciting times, exciting times.

Bleacher has always been a place of gathering and debating for us Hockey fans. This time again, we will take the playoffs and our views in our own writings, with a series of articles in partnership with the Boston Bruins community (details in the following link).

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/155874-a-call-to-arms-for-bruins-and-habs-writers

So please come in and be part of it, to add to our already exciting playoffs atmosphere!

Comments, suggestions and ideas are more than welcomed on the Community Leaders’ boards. Tell us what you think, what you want to add and such!

Happy playoffs and GO HABS GO!

Hey, how are you?

I am trying to survey our community on what we can do, regarding the All-Star game. Like tributes, roundtable articles, stuffs like that.

I kinda spread a roundtable idea around … on which player, and why him, to send there.

If u have any idea, let me know! It would be fun to work on it together!

Go Habs,
Miah ;)
