About Bill »

I've been a Toronto Maple Leafs fan since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. It seems to be a natural consequence of living in Southern Ontario.

I first became interested in Glasgow Rangers while attending Victoria Drive school in Glasgow. I lost touch after returning to Canada, but now, with satellite TV and live internet streaming, etc I have been able to re-kindle this passion. Indeed, my wife ,kids and I will be in Glasgow this May and fully intend to take in a game.

Hi Bill, thanks for the comment on my British Playoffs article - I'm glad its of interest to at least one Canadian! I will, of course, be using the proper 'Canada/US' oder of hockey referencing from now on.

Glad I could help out Bill--it's amazing what a few keywords can do for article traffic. If you're so inclined, you may want to check out "The Art of the Headline" on the BR Blog:

Thanks again for sharing your work, and keep the good stuff coming.

Best,

Ryan
