Greetings. In introducing myself, I must relate that family is most important. I am a husband, father and grandfather. Beautiful extended family. I was born in the 60's. Graduated from Laurentian University in Sudbury in 1985 with a degree in Social Work. Recently retired. Sports has been and continues to be my foremost outlet for stress. I have been a coach/ trainer on over 40 youth teams, including hockey, baseball and soccer. Hockey is my number one sport. Began playing as a young child and continue to play several times per week. Huge Fan. I am not an expert per say when it comes to having close contacts to the hockey world. Still have expertise as a Fan. I have probably earned some form of "Hockey PTSD" over the years with the highs and lows of the cheering for the Leafs. I want to respectfully share my opinion and respectfully view your opinions.  Should be fun. Keep your stick on the ice. Take Care and Stay Safe.
