It’s been about a billion years since I updated this, so let’s go through it (update Feb/17). For those of you reading this due to my Marvel Netflix pieces, this operates largely as a mirror to blogspot site due to posting restrictions on Reddit. What follows is for the hockey fans.
I’ve been an Ottawa Senators fan since I moved to the city from Kingston in 1996 (I had no strong allegiance when growing up). I began writing about hockey with the now defunct Hockey’s Future back in 2005. Awhile later I spent three years contributing articles to the equally defunct Hockey Herald (2007-10) and following its collapse decided to start this blog to supply the kind of information and analysis that interests me. One of the things I used to do was collate information about the Ottawa Senators because it wasn’t easy to find, but other sites do this now (The Silver Seven in particular) so it’s no longer necessary.
One of the major changes for me has been a switch to prospects and Ottawa’s affiliates. With analytics cutting through the BS of standard journalism, there is only a periodic need for me to raise my voice about the NHL club, but coverage of the AHL is minimal and prospect coverage remains weak.
You can support me on Patreon–contributions will give me more time to do the in depth things that make this site unique.

Hey, love your site! You should come visit us at TheSensForum and introduce yourself!
http://www.thesensforum.com/
Need to add your name to this “about” page, I suggest!!
Hello,
My name is Ryan and I am co-owner of http://www.thefarmclub.net . I am in charge of building up our hockey section with talented, interesting writers.
I found your site and really enjoyed what I read. I think that you would be a great fit as one of our Sens writers and would love to bring you on board.
The Farm Club is still a young site – we recently celebrated our first birthday –but we continue to grow at an incredible rate and now reach 50k/month in views based solely on word-of-mouth alone. We have also received our first injection of capital, which we will be using to launch a brand new site design in the very near future. We will also be joining the YardBarker network upon our site launch; a huge opportunity to boost our reach and viewership.
We can’t offer a paid position (not just yet, anyways) but we can offer a platform for your voice and opinion in front of a growing audience. We do try to offer rewards and goals for our writers, including “featured pieces” on our front page which will grab the most views, as well as promotions in our hierarchy with an eye towards paying those positions in the near future.
Also, please know that we are not trying to “steal” you away from your current site; we would encourage you to write anywhere and everywhere you can in addition to our site. We only ask that should you contribute to our site, it be original content.We would also like to participate in a link exchange that would be beneficial to both sites.
If you’re interested, please get back to me and we can discuss details. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Ryan Womeldorf

Hi there,
Just sent you a tweet, but saw your e-mail address and thought I’d follow up directly.
As one of Canada’s go-to sources for all things Sens, people look to you for news about the team to get prepped for the next big game. So we want to make sure you’re ready for the puck drop on October 9.
SUBWAY® Restaurants would like to help you Get Primed prior to game day by delivering their newest recruit. This top secret sandwich is the perfect primer for sports fans set to cheer on the Sens.
Here’s the idea, you let us know where you are going to be the night before the Senators play the Preds and we will deliver this hot new sandwich for you and your family made just the way you like it.
Once you’ve had a chance to try the sandwich, we’d love to get your feedback. And feel free to share your #SUBWAYGetPrimed delivery with friends, fans and followers because – who doesn’t love food photos!
We’re also open to potential contesting on your blog.
Intrigued? Let me know and we will make it happen.
Cheers,
James
