I’m a lover of sports in general – if it’s on, I’ll likely watch it. But nothing compares to hockey and Montreal Canadiens. I’ve lived most of my life on the west coast, which presents some challenges as a Habs fan, but it’s never been so easy to follow my favourite club as it is these days. In Vancouver I work as an Editorial Assistant at a local travel magazine and do a lot of volunteering at local museums. My background includes a Bachelor’s degree in History, training as technical writer and work in hospitality. I’m also an avid traveler myself and have significant spent time in Europe, South and Central America and Asia. My favourite spots? Spain, Vietnam, Belize…the list goes on.

2016 UFA Preview: Forwards

By Craig Scharien –

This year there are a number of intriguing UFA forwards available, with the range and depth of talent being significantly more impressive than in recent years. The timing is good for the Habs, as they could clearly use some help up front.

Draft Options: Logan Brown

By Craig Scharien –

There’s a big American kid playing for the Windsor Spitfires that has been rocketing up draft lists in the second half of the season. When I say big, I mean huge – Logan Brown is already 6’6 and may still be growing.  Brown has the potential to develop into the big, dynamic center that every team in the NHL craves, including the Canadiens.
