Expertise

I can answer any question about NHL history, especially around the time the league became the "original six." Any questions about general knowledge of the game are also greatly appreciated. I`ve been watching the game for over 20 years. I`ve also read dozens of books by those who have had extensive involvement in the sport such as Dick Irvin and Stan Fischler. To me, this is the greatest sport in the world, and I will be more than happy to answer your questions. I also happen to be a middle school teacher who believes that there is no such thing as a stupid question...so ask away!

Experience

I first saw a game when I was very young. It was an Atlanta Flames game, and my most vivid memory was seeing Willi Plett score a goal on a slap shot from the blue line. The crowd leaped as one and gave a frenzied roar and I was instantly hooked! The Flames are now in Calgary, (where I hope they stay--permanently, more on this later) but my love for this game has never left me. Several years later, my family moved to Maryland and I have been a Washington Capitals fan ever since. Of course, my dream was to play in the NHL, but a knee injury and the realities of the economy squelched that hope. But I still contribute where I can, especially while working with children. I spent several summers putting together impromptu street and floor hockey tournaments for kids aged 6-16 years. And of course, I watch every NHL game I can to see how the game evolves. Naturally, I catch every Caps game as well.
