About Mark »

Hey guys,

My name is Mark. I am just another Canadian living in Chicago who is excited about the season and direction of the Chicago Blackhawks. I am also a young guy interested in gathering experience in writing articles. Especially writing about my favorite sport and long time passion, Hockey. I feel like I have a good grasp on the game, having played many levels from the age of Four till the age of Twenty when an injury ended my playing career, but not my love of the the game.

Please feel free to ask me any questions about anything I have written, and also constructive criticism is encouraged. I hope you enjoy my opinions, or at least respect them. I also look forward to hearing any thoughts on anything written here.

Thanks Everyone,
Mark Murphy

Hey Mark-

Here is my thought for our next Blackhawks Community Roundtable:

"All I want for Christmas is..." and realate it to something you want from the Blackhawks by Christmas.

Let me know what you think, if you like it let me know and I will see what the response from everyone else is. There is no due date quite yet. I would like to have it out by the end of next week some time but no date is in stone yet. I just want to see what people think of the idea.

Thanks

Michael Wagner

P.S. Thank you for your contributions to the 'Hawks section
