Description:

I’m a hockey fan since ‘76, when I discovered the game in college. I went to Bowling Green State University, where I was treated to hard hitting, aggressive hockey, coached by Ron Mason, who would go on to become the winningest coach in college history. I also was priveledged to witness the college career of Ken Morrow, whose name appears on the Stanley Cup four times with the Islanders. I like physical forchecking style hockey. I have little patience for the finesse game. I am pleased to see the open ice hit coming back into the game. The thundering checks in open ice and a good fight are some of the most exciting aspects of this great game. I also enjoy watching tremendous goaltending. I’ve only had the opportunity of actually attending two NHL games, but at both sat where I could watch the goalies work. I got to see Brodeur play in Los Angeles from just over his left shoulder. It was amazing to watch him work. I enjoy writing about hockey, I comment here, on nhlfights.com and nhlfightclub.com, plus am registered to comment on stories on the CBC Sports page. It’s a lot of fun to see what the most intense fans of the game think of my opinions and observations. When I’m not commenting on hockey here, I can be found at my site baldhedhockey at http://baldhedhockey.blogspot.com/
