RIP to my NL hockey heroes, local legends and brothers Alex Faulkner & George Faulkner . These legends, plus my great dad, were the inspirations that led me to researching and appreciating NL hockey history.

Hello:

I grew up in the former town of Windsor, NL playing many sports but bitten by the hockey bug pretty early, so always felt hockey was the greatest game.

I'm an occasional contributor to Wikipedia, predominantly Newfoundland hockey history. Keeping the following pages updated as long as possible:

Herder Memorial Trophy
Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts

All the best
