Accountant / Analyst who has a nagging writing addiction when it comes to hockey. I’ve been a hockey fan since I was a wee tyke and now my allegiance to the Atlanta Thrashers has me “mentally thrashed”. My other long-time passion is the game of golf so I’m a glutton for punishment! As a mid to late thirty-something, I’m very blessed to have a girlfriend who aids and abets my hockey / blogging obsession. Hockey heroes include: Gilbert Perreault, Adam Oates (Go RPI!) and Marty Reasoner.
