After spending ten years in Radio broadcasting, with a degree in Broadcast Journalism, I realized that if I ever wanted to own a car that I had better get into a business that paid a little better. Subsequently, I am the owner of a large security software company that does well - and don't have much better to do then have a good complaint about my beloved Oilers. Although I would add that with the CFL season coming, coach Macaroni will be a favorite target for his dismal coaching performance.

I am a third year university student at the University of Alberta, majoring in English. Thank goodness for sports to take me away from 19th century lit! I plan to go into Public Relations and would love to work for a NHL team. Fingers crossed for the Rangers!

Been a hockey fan for my entire life.
I enjoy writing whenever I can.
I have worked on hockey broadcasting teams for events including the Olympics, NHL ALLSTAR GAME, WORLD JUNIOR HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIPS, and NHL CENTRE ICE and LEAF TV broadcasts.
Needles to say I watch a LOT of hockey.
My view on hockey can be summarized as such "A high speed war game with sticks, pucks and gutts"
BTW: I actually produced a song submission to the Hockey Night in Canada Anthem contest for those who are curious you can find it on youtube just search for spaddison.
