I am a huge New Jersey Devils fan and big hockey fan in general. Hockey is my favorite sport, but I love all sports. I am very open minded and respect different opinions about various subjects. I am not afraid to speak my mind regarding controversies in hockey or any other sport, so I look forward to getting feedback and welcome any kind of opinion.I started as the first contributor ever at Pucks and Pitchforks and after many years away I am glad to be back and get the passion that I have for the Devils back out there.I currently live in South Florida even though I hate how hot it is here.Devils, Giants, Michigan Wolverines, Orioles, VCU bball
