The Falconer

Oct 27, 2008 Jul 30, 2010 1063 893

I fell in love with hockey playing on my pond in Michigan as a kid. I fell in love with the NHL watching a young Steve Yzerman, Petr Klima and Bob Probert fall to the Gretzky era Oilers. I waited patiently for Yves Racine and Per Djoos to become Norris trophy defensemen (they didn't).

I've lived in Atlanta for over a decade and have watched nearly every minute of every Thrashers game in their franchise history. That's a lot of losing hockey. I'm must be an addict, because I'm still watching.

I also enjoy Baseball and I'm a big fan of Baseball Prospectus and using stats to analyze both baseball and hockey.

I still play hockey on two teams here in Atlanta and hope to stay healthy enough to keep playing for a couple more decades.

I'm also a fan of indie music (my friend Rich writes Cable and Tweed music blog) and indie and mainstream movies.

In my day job I teach American Government and do analysis on elections and legislative votes, but I prefer to keep my hockey and politics separate.

a fan of

Detroit Tigers Major League Baseball Team

Detroit Pistons National Basketball Association Team

Detroit Lions National Football League Team

Michigan Wolverines NCAA Men's Football Division 1A Team

Atlanta Thrashers National Hockey League Team
