ALTERNATIVE MEDIA
Writers and blogs

The basics of me are simple. I am an American, born in Minnesota and currently residing in North Carolina. My heart, however, belongs to Toronto. My hockey experience is limited to a single season when I was a child. I quickly learned that my best role was that of a fan — and later a writer. As a fan, I spent my childhood obsessed with the city of Toronto and all teams from there, and I caught no end of hell from school kids for being “Canadian".
