Billy came to FanSided in July 2012 and is the former Editor of Too Many Men on the Site, FanSided's general NHL blog. He came to the Causeway Crowd as a Senior Writer in January 2013, as it's always been a dream of his to cover his beloved Bruins. He grew up playing hockey on the ponds and rinks of New England and watching B's games with his old man who almost always let him stay up late on school nights to catch the action. He still plays in a mens beer league and yes, that's Rick "Nifty" Middleton in the photo.
