About Matt »

Hailing from the small Northwestern Ontario home of Chris Pronger in Dryden, I have been obsessed with the game of hockey since I was about seven years old. A hard-core Montreal Canadiens fan, I have followed the team since seeing the Canadiens 1993 Stanley Cup victory with my dad, a big reason I'm a Habs fan.

Currently, I am studying at the University of Manitoba in the Faculty of Education. I previously graduated with a Bachelor is Physical Education from the U of M as well as from Providence College (in Manitoba) with a Bachelor of Arts in Education Studies. Journalism is a secret passion for me, one I almost made my career.

If you have any questions or comments to leave, either about the Montreal Canadiens, feel free to post a comment on either my board, Miah D's profile, or Daniel Arouchain's profile, two other Montreal Canadiens Community Leaders here on BR.

I co-host "Habs All Out Radio", a talk show all about the Montreal Canadiens along with Miah. You can visit the Habs All Out official website at http://habsallout.webs.com. The show may be starting up again in October, stay tuned for details.

I am also the Community Leader for the Canadian Football League. If you have any questions or comments about the CFL and its section here at BR, post a comment on my board or Chris Allen's board, my fellow CFL Community Leader on BR.

One of my articles "Kaptain Kovalev Named Eastern Conference Captain; Thornton Named West Captain" was featured on cbssports.com.

You can also reach me via e-mail at matt.eichel@gmail.com.

Thanks for writing! And Go Habs Go!
