My username has no hidden meaning. It is complete gibberish.

My main interests are Canadian subjects, ice hockey biographies, or ice hockey history. I am actively researching information the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and Hockey Canada. I focus on the game's administrators, referees, coaches, and journalists who are overlooked and forgotten. I also work on biographies for Hockey Hall of Fame and IIHF Hall of Fame inductees, and recipients of the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award, the Paul Loicq Award and the Torriani Award.

I have previously worked on articles related to junior ice hockey, including the Canadian Hockey League, the Ontario Hockey League, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the Western Hockey League. I was not good at citing sources when I worked on these subects, and slowly but surely I will improve my earlier efforts and improve the quality of the articles.

For your tireless work on the hockey articles, and especially for putting in those long season-by-season records tables on the Springfield Indians article, so I don't have to do so!  RGTraynor  13:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for fantastic ongoing work on improving/expanding/copyediting the hockey articles, of which your recent overhaul of hockey (and war) hero Edward Lyman Abbott is a shining example. Glad to see you came out of retirement and decided to "lace them up again". Jmg38 (talk) 05:53, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

For massively improving ice hockey articles, and focusing on topics not usually covered (coaches, executives, non-playing personal in general). Your work is much appreciated. Kaiser matias (talk) 19:02, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
