If you are wondering about me, I am a hockey-loving gal and I am currently living my dream job as I write here at Blackout Dallas. I am also a long-time Dallas Stars fan since 1996 and love the game of hockey for the same amount of years that I have supported the Stars. Besides hockey, I am also a big time photography, graphic arts & music lover. I am also one of the biggest Brenden Morrow & Ryan Garbutt fans you'll meet. I know my hockey very well, have studied the game and been writing for a year now.
