Note from the Author:

Thank you for checking out my blog! I just wanted to make a few notes:

(1) I am not an expert in this field (yet).

(2) I hope this blog is informative for readers and a learning tool for myself.

(3) I will cover hockey and its intersection with the law, league governance, business, etc. (and maybe some other interesting things).

(4) While I’d like to cover all sports law, I have limited this blog to hockey since I work full-time as an attorney.

(5) Clearly I'm not much of a website developer, so the physical site itself will be a work in progress. That being said, if anyone wants to help with logos, web design, etc. please let me know!

(6) If you have any questions or comments, please contact me via the Contact page.
