I was born and raised in Chicago and moved to South Florida in 1993. I'm a dedicated fan of both the Chicago Blackhawks and Florida Panthers. I truly feel that hockey is the greatest game in sports bar none. I joined FanSided Sports in September of 2009 and started The Rat Trick. I've also written for our BlackhawkUp site on occasion. You can reach me at [email protected] Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you visit us often.
