I’m sure I can speak for fans everywhere when I say that I miss hockey. While my team may not have had much of a chance to make the playoffs this season, it has certainly been enjoyable watching the club rebuild with exciting youth in their system. Whether in the NHL or in the minor-leagues... Continue Reading →
The last couple of months have certainly been challenging. It’s been difficult turning on the TV or opening Google or Facebook without seeing unpleasant updates about COVID-19’s impact on us. With that being said, this pandemic has given us an opportunity to adapt and better yet, appreciate what we normally take for granted. I’d be... Continue Reading →

For years, it was a fixture in my daily life. While it was certainly advantageous, it became a crutch -- a drug, if you will -- and I convinced myself that I could stop any time I wanted to. But, I couldn’t. Not in the last number of attempts, at least, which spanned over the... Continue Reading →

At this particular juncture, I had been writing about the Los Angeles Kings for nearly five years.
