Melissa's Bio

What can I say, I've always been and will always be a big time hockey fan; thats probably the best description you'll get out of me! Grew up in Toronto, so it results to being a Leafs fan. They're not something im always proud of, but who knows what will happen in the future.

Go to school, write for sports for the University of Toronto paper, "The Varsity" and love it!
Id love to learn as much as i can, and will take any opinion, so feel free to drop me a line.

I'm an editor here at B/R so please let me know if you want/need another set of eyes to look over anything you have written! I'm here to help!

Hi Melissa. I saw this posted on a sign in London. "If Hamilton gets an NHL team, Toronto will want one too."
But seriously, it looks like the Leafs should actually make the playoffs this year.

I noticed in your BIO that you are an editor for B/R. I could use another set of eyes to look over anything I have written. If you don't mind and have the time I would greatly appreciate it. Thanx, John

Greetings baseball fans and friends!

I present a slide show of events from June 15th, when the Dodgers held an event which allows fans to come onto the field to hit, pitch, and field. There are some behind the scenes shots as well.
