Born and raised in Chicago, I'm currently a sophomore journalism student at the University of Oklahoma. Basketball has always been my true passion and sport to watch/play, but hockey has really grown on me over the last few years. An absurd amount of my time is spent watching hockey and How I Met Your Mother in my room, so I'd like to think my hockey knowledge is "steak sauce", as Barney Stinson would say.
