My username has no hidden meaning. It is complete gibberish.
My primary interests are Canadian subjects, ice hockey biographies or history. I actively research the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and Hockey Canada. I also work on biographies for Hockey Hall of Fame and IIHF Hall of Fame inductees, and recipients of the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award, the Paul Loicq Award and the Torriani Award.
I focus on ice hockey administrators, referees, coaches, and journalists who are overlooked and forgotten. Occasionally I write about sport journalists recognized by the Canadian Football Hall of Fame or Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.
I have previously worked on articles related to junior ice hockey, including the Canadian Hockey League, the Ontario Hockey League, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the Western Hockey League. I was not good at citing sources when I worked on these subects, and slowly but surely I will improve my earlier efforts and improve the quality of the articles.
