i've been a sports reporter and editor for the chronicle herald for 30 years, with a focus on the halifax mooseheads and the qmjhl since 1999. i also covered the qmjhl for the hockey news for a number of years and have contributed to an nhl scouting service for more than two decades.

i was in the rink for sidney crosby's nhl debut, nathan mackinnon's memorial cup championship and brad marchand's stanley cup final.

i played soccer in university and coach basketball so i love all sports.
