My Interests

Hockey, hockey and more hockey -- the more historical or hysterical, the better! Huge fan of music, too.

Music:

Tastes are as eclectic as they come. From Sparks to The Tragically Hip, from the 1910 Fruitgum Company to Dan Fogelberg, from Molly Johnson to Wilson Pickett, from Billy Talent to The Beatles. Love it all.

Movies:

Simon Birch, Best Years of Our Lives, Slapshot, Eraserhead, Big Fish, Field of Dreams

Television:

'Hockey Night in Canada' -- what else?

Books:

Enjoy Mitch Albom and O. Henry as a diversion to hockey history books. Read incessantly.

Heroes:

Terry Fox, Bill Barilko, my Dad, my brother Dale.
