I’m taking a “break” for two and a bit weeks from here, purely because it’s Exam time at Law School and when you’re pulling massive massive study days, finding time to write a blog (no matter how much you love to do it!) kind of doesn’t happen. So once I’ve sloughed my way through . . . → Read More: Study Mandated Break Last summer, I packed my backpack and fled the Australian summer for the North American winter. I saw snow, had a white christmas, got my first excruciating hang over and most of all, completely immersed myself in hockey. I talked General Managing, Team Development and Public Relations with Doug Soetaert and Jon Rosen in . . . → Read More: Escaping Again : A New Internship Quest Thursday, instead of paying attention to the Private International Law lecture I was in, I got involved in a twitter based debate about the shootout with my favourite HNIC Host Jeff Marek (who has managed to push aside my adoration of PJ Stock by being so damn nice to me on twitter) and good . . . → Read More: Arguments about the Shoot Out with Jeff Marek and Brynna In a sport that often lacks real characters, with its very high proportionate of softly spoken and awkwardly shy men from Middle Canadians, when someone steps forward with something that even resembles a bit of spark and a sense of humour that they’re willing to show in front of a television camera, we latch on. Today’s example, and one of my personal favourites of our new/next generation of interview comedians is the irrepressible and down right smart mouthed Stefan Legein. Legein’s most known for being the kid that, when faced with making the jump from the OHL to the AHL, instead chose to walk away from the game, having burn out at barely 20 or so the media kept telling us. With many friends in the CHL, and after seeing what a life of nothing but hockey can actually do to some people I honestly can’t blame the guy at all. Since then, and thankfully, for many of us who are fans of the Oakville forward’s in your face, tear your helmet from your head (as exhibited below) style of play, Legein has returned to the game, and now graces Syracuse, Columbus and a town near you with his wickedly quick sense of humor. Three of my favourite moments of Stefan Legein. Everyone has a take, this is mine It’s been all over the news lately. You can’t miss it. We’re talking about Georges Laraque and the whole Octane 7.0 drama. Whilst I fail completely as a feminist and don’t have an issue with the scantily clad women in the advert, ones whom compared to recent . . . → Read More: The Uproar re: Georges Laraque When I returned from Washington, I was questioning everything I had previously thought, about wanting to work in hockey. Sure I’d had an amazing time, but was working in hockey, having to move half way across the world what i really wanted to do. A lot of the people weren’t as crazy passionate about . . . → Read More: Thoughts on a Career in Hockey.. Dear Toronto Maple Leafs, Our love affair has been an ongoing one. Besides the Mighty Ducks and Red Wings (loves which occured through accident and peer pressure), you were one of my first hockey loves. You were there for me as a scrawny 15 year old, yelling at the inanimate box score as Philadelphia . . . → Read More: An Open Letter to the Toronto Maple Leaf I’m always looking for new and improved ways to wear my hockey t-shirts (which make up a massive portion of my wardrobe) in a way without loosing some semblence of style. I admit to being a bit of (understatement there) a clotheshorse some days, and t-shirts with jeans are mostly not my style. I’ve . . . → Read More: Hockey Fashion: It’s the NHL meets Cyndi Lauper At this time, Matty Stajan is one of the NHL Top 10 League Scorers. This is probably never going to happen again, despite the fact he seems to be getting his shit together this season and looks like he might actually be living up to the potential I, as a blindly misguided often . . . → Read More: Dot Points – 7th October I’m not sure where to begin here. Just a quick FYI Pittsburgh Penguins. Taylor Swift premiered the new Nashville 3rd jersey at her concert. Don’t think she’s going to be a fan of you guys anytime soon. Tyler Kennedy looks like some scary creeper over in that corner, and I’m actually not sure . . . → Read More: The Penguins and Taylor Swift Edition.. |
