My name's Jon. I was born and raised in Toronto and lived there until the age of 18 when I moved to Ottawa, Ontario to study at Carleton University. Starting in September of 2013, I will be attending the College of Sports Media in downtown Toronto, with the goal of getting into sports media in the future.

I grew up loving sports, and my first two loves in life were the Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Cubs, thanks to my late grandfather. Despite the fact that neither of them have won a championship in my lifetime, I feel blessed to be a part of the two greatest fan bases in the world of sports.

I'm currently a featured columnist for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but also write about the NHL, the Baltimore Ravens, the Toronto Blue Jays, the Chicago Cubs, the Seattle Mariners (and all sorts of other baseball news), the Denver Nuggets, the Duke Blue Devils, and I'll write the occasional article on college football.

I'm always up for a good sports conversation and am found on twitter nearly every hour of the day @JawnReid. Feel free to hit me up on there anytime.

Cheers.
