See those snipers going top shelf where Mom hides the Christmas presents? Maybe dangling and slipping the biscuit through the five-hole? Or maybe a cement-head dropping the mitts and chucking knuckles?

I research and write about those players. From the dawn of hockey in the late-1800's through to last night's contest.

I write for the Hockey Hall of Fame, I teach hockey history at a Toronto college and I write hockey books -- working on numbers 13 and 14 right now. My articles have appeared in the Toronto Star, National Post, The Hockey News, Legends and many others. I am often asked to talk hockey in the media -- CBC Radio, TSN 1050 Toronto, Sportsnet 590 The Fan Toronto, MY-FM Goderich, AM800 Windsor and many others.
