[edit] About me

I'm an avid sports fan, born, raised and living in Calgary, Alberta, and my contributions to Wikipedia to date are mainly related to sports in Western Canada. In particular, hockey and baseball. I created my first article on the Calgary Cannons after finding that the Edmonton Trappers had a page, but not the team I followed for years. Since then, I've touched many other articles related to Calgary and area sports - including the Calgary Hitmen, AJHL, HJHL, Calgary Roughnecks, Calgary Vipers and ~~Calgary~~ Okotoks Dawgs.

My main focus has been to develop the pages relating to junior hockey in western Canada, particularaly the Western Hockey League, though I have recently been branching out into the historical leagues that Alberta teams once played in. Recently, I have expanded my efforts with NHL teams, building articles for each season played by the Calgary Flames, along with other teams.

Oddly enough, despite my overwhelming focus on hockey-related articles, my 250th new article was also about baseball: Calgary Vipers' Mr. .400, Darryl Brinkley.

As of May 23, 2008, I was ranked 1664 by number of edits on English Wikipedia, with 13,107 edits, according to this list: Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits.

I am also an Administrator. If you are here because you disagree with anything I have done, blame this guy for that. Otherwise, feel free to complain on my talk page. I will try to address your concern.

[edit] My Projects

I have attempted to improve the information available for several amateur and minor-pro sports leagues that operate in and around Alberta.

Current projects:

Recently completed projects:

Bring Calgary Hitmen to featured article status. (Promoted June 8)

Future projects:

Bring Jarome Iginla to FA status
Bring Western Hockey League to GA status or better

[edit] Vandalism

My userpage has been vandalized eighteen times for a total of 44 edits, proving that few vandals can form a coherent thought on the first try. Included was this genius submission: "how do you like this, retart!"[1]

I'm also quite partial to this mess left on my talk page: [2]

It's good to know people out there are thinking of me.
