My favorite sports teams all have a Toronto flavour, with the Leafs, Raptors, Blue Jays and Toronto FC taking the place in my sports heart. In short, I'm not a journalism major, I'm not a genius, but I offer valid opinions and try to convey them in a professional manner.

I usually focus my sports writing on the Toronto based sports teams (Leafs, Raptors, Blue Jays, Argos, TFC etc), but I will write the odd national NHL article over the course of a week or two. Hopefully you all enjoy my writing.

I've just recently graduated from Laurentian University with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Physics and hopeful I can at least find a job somewhere.

Sports is my passion and I enjoy writing and following sports in my spare time. I take time out at least twice a week to try and write a piece on something, so have a read through my articles and tell me what you think.

Just recently, as of August 4th, 2010, I am now a featured NHL Columnist here at B/R. I seem to be rising in the ranks pretty quickly here at B/R and I have to thank the countless readers for clicking and reading my articles. Thanks so much for taking the time out to read my work.

    Mikhail Grabovski---The Worst Second Line Center in the NHL?

    I think the answer is no, not right now anyway. I took a look at the stats and there are only a handful of 2nd line centers with more points and he is plus 3.

    Hey Brad, any chance you've heard of the following rumor?

    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/11/justin-upton-rumors-thursday.html#disqus_thread

    I would guess you have, but since you seem to have more connections than I would, and if you haven't heard of it, maybe you can find out who's potentially going the other way?

    Keep up the great writing.

    That's actually what I meant, and I thought I wrote it that way in the comments, but I just looked in the article history and it looks like it might've gotten cut off. Either way, it worked out. Hope to see more from you.
