Yes! Been waiting for it boys. Can’t wait to start reading some hockey also!
Would suggest some Canadian writers but may be hard to find unbiased to their teams.
That’s like saying that no American writers can comment on any of the Canadian teams.
Not exactly, just in general their passion for the game and insight for the sport is much stronger than most Americans. Saying they will write with some feeling for the sport to give us some good hockey stories to read.
Who cares????
Finally!
