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.

Fantasy Focus: Andrei Markov

By Craig Scharien –

As a leader both on and off the ice and with his knee problems firmly behind him, Andrei Markov remains an important piece of the Habs puzzle. He may have lost a step or two but The General is as smart as ever and remains a valuable contributor.

Fantasy Focus: Zack Kassian

By Craig Scharien –

One of the new kids on the block, Zack Kassian has the opportunity to bring toughness and perhaps a little bit of scoring to the Habs. There are questions abound, but is this the year he becomes the power forward he was projected to be?
