Welcome to Hockey With Ice
I’ve been writing articles and blogs, recording podcasts and making videos about a bundle of different interests over recent years, primarily sports-related. All good fun, all a great learning experience, but all taking up a lot of my spare time. So much so that it meant I wasn’t able to dedicate the time I wanted to covering hockey.
Launching Hockey With Ice in September 2023 was my way of readdressing that balance.
I hope you enjoy reading, watching and listening to all of the content.
