This piece has been sitting in a Google Doc for six years. Six years of watching this team, following this blog and honing my writing, six years of becoming absolutely obsessed with this sport, and six years of having my heart broken time and time again. Hello, everyone: my name is Eamon, and I’m joining Broad Street Hockey’s writing team because this website (and by extension, community) is the reason I started doing all of this in the first place.
Some fun facts about me: I’m currently in college, I’m from the greater Nashville area, and my favorite player in NHL history is Mattias Ekholm (timely, huh).
