So, for as long as I can remember, I have been an avid fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. My father's propensity for sitting me in front of the television for a seemingly never-ending string of hockey games proved to be the mitigating factor in me bleeding blue & white. Much like my fellow Leaf bretheran, I yearn for a Stanley Cup in Toronto. After 41 years of drought, I'm thinking more and more that I will be lucky to see it in my lifetime.

An avid hockey fan. Favorite team is the Montreal Canadiens.
I grew up in Montreal following the Habs all my life.
My thought is that hockey is the greatest sport.
I eat and sleep hockey.
I watch anywhere between 250-400 NHL games a year.

A Dallas Stars fanatic through and through. I eat, sleep, and breathe hockey, to the extent of when I get bored at work, I just run a game in my head. Also, I may or may not have named my guinea pig after Mike Modano.

A new author at RMT, I've had previous experience at TheFourthPeriod.com and am currently the owner of Sportsfiend.ca, which is a multi-sports site.
I have been a hockey fan my entire life. I remember watching as a child as my father would tune in to any games with Czechoslovakia versus the Soviet (my family is Czech). It was those early childhood memories that engraved my love for hockey into the fabric of my person.
One thing I have learned is that hockey is a sport best enjoyed for its players, not its teams. Steve Yzerman is a rare commodity, meaning that rooting for a particular team may mean losing touch with your idols.
While Jagr is the player I admire most from a skill standpoint, I think Yzerman is the epitomy of professional sports, because of his genuine nature, his passion for the game, and his gentlemanly approach to what can be quite a soap-opera at times.

I am a die hard Red Wings fan ever since I turned 13, plan to be one my whole life.
I played hockey on a minor level, but I wasn't very good, I never made the team, so I decided to step aside and leave the game to pros.

Lee is still a relatively new hockey fan but thanks to his friend Andy, he attended his very first NHL game in February of 2006 and has been a fan ever since.
The Blue Jackets are his favorite, but being an alumni of The Ohio State University, there's a place in his heart for all things OSU.
Lee is in his first year as a band director at Valley Local Schools, in Lucasville, Ohio.

Introducing the Blunt Hick. I'm the son of a hay farmer, making me one tough customer, who is not afraid to express opinions. I will fill the site's vacant position as Rural Sports Nut. I hope to awaken some good debate through articles that I write, as I tend to be blunt and don't always side with the majority opinion.
I became a hard core Detroit Red Wings fan at the age of seven, due to a trip to the Joe Louis Arena and some quality time spent watching my Wings with my father, via a little 19 inch television which used an antenna to acquire limited channels.
Currently, I reside in Port Hope, Ontario, an area which televises the Toronto Maple Leaf and Ottawa Senator games. For better or worse, I follow the Leafs and the Senators as they continue to patrol separate ends of the League Standings. But like any hockey nut, there is never a hockey matter that I don't enjoy commenting on, especially with all the hype in this area.

Well first, I was born and raised in Naples, Florida. I've always loved the Panthers, especially after the magical 96' cup run. Since then, I've devoted a big portion of my life to hockey and the Panthers.
I've never been a fan of another sport, other sports just do not seem appealing to me. Funny huh? Hockey fans in Florida?!

A true Devils fan from the beginning, from Mel Bridgman to Kirk Muller to Scott Steven to Marty Brodeur. I have been there with them through the good and the bad and the ugly. Whether it was John MacLean's OT goal in Chicago, or Jason Arnott's OT goal in Dallas or even the haunting Game 7 OT loss to the Rangers.
I am former college coach and athletic administrator, who just this year started writing my own Devils blog at http://njdevilslounge.blogspot.com for the true fans of hockey and the New Jersey Devils!

Hello everyone. My name is Maurizio Zambito, and I am a new blogger for my beloved Toronto Maple Leafs. I am a diehard Leafs fan, living in the city for 10 years of my life. Hockey is my life, the Toronto Maple Leafs are my life.
So here is a quick summary of who I am. I was born in Toronto, ON on May 29, 1992. Yes, 1992, and i'll save you the math by telling you I am sixteen years old. With this, when I write articles many people tend to not take my writing seriously, but I do, and I would appreciate it if you did the same. I am currently in grade 11, and I plan on heading to University once my highschool career is over. There I hope to study Journalism, and the goal is to one day be a full time follower of the Maple Leafs. If that doesn't work as plan, then it will be the lawyer route for me, and in the end, you'll see me as the future GM of the Leafs. ;) I spend about my entire day talking sports with my friends, family, and just about anyone who will listen. My favourite TV show is Sportscentre, which says a lot. Overall, I'm just a general fan of hockey, and am a hockey fan 1a, Leafs fan 1b.
So enough about me, let me speak about what I will bring. I am going to blog about current issues involving the Leafs, ranging from trade speculation, roster moves, insider information, and player thoughts. To the NHL as a whole, and all the teams, from Anaheim to Washington.
