Bio:

Ever since Patrick had the chance to go on a road trip with the New York Rangers to Montreal back in March of 1995, he has known that he wanted to be involved in the NHL.

Growing up, Patrick knew that he either wanted to be the next Mike Richter or a professional hockey writer. Since it was clear from Pee-Wee on that he was not going to make it to the NHL as a goaltender, he decided to do the next best thing.

Patrick has covered the NHL and New York Rangers for a slew of blogs, including popular hockey outlets such as Kukla’s Korner, TheHockeyNews.com, The Fourth Period, Spector’s Hockey, The Fischler Report and NHL Home Ice.

Patrick is happy and honoured to be contributing his hockey thoughts on Sportsnet.ca.
