Thanks for joining me on this blog.
Ever since I was a kid, I have been a huge fan of sports, sports writing and story telling. In those days, I can remember copying boxscores from the newspaper, and inscribing them into a journal that I kept for the Montreal Canadiens season. Over the years, I have had previous forays into blogging and writing, however the real world and its latest and fanciest distractions would intervene and derail those efforts.
This current NHL season, I started a personal journal, initially tracking each Montreal Canadiens match and the events around it. As the season has progressed, my journaling has become more detailed and complex, and it has brought me a greater sense of satisfaction in following the team and the league. The activity itself has also brought back a flood of warm memories of watching the Canadiens from afar as a child, and has also reignited a passion to share my observations and insights with the public.
I hope to operate this blog without any pressure to publish, or any expectation that it will be read by anyone in particular. At most, I hope it will allow me to hone my writing skills and provide me with a platform to present my work.
To those that have chosen to follow this self indulgent post, a sincere thank you. Hopefully, this blog outlasts the last one.
