“How special is life when you have the Leafs and MLHS?”

Contributors:
Gus Katsaros - Gus is the Professional Scouting Coordinator for the scouting service “McKeen’s Hockey.” Along with MLHS, his work has appeared in The Hockey News, THN.com and Fadoo Hockey. He has also appeared on various radio segments, including HockeyCentral at Noon.
Junior – A Leafs fan for more than 35 years, Junior blogs about the team here in a fashion that would best be described as “sporadic”, and about the Leafs, hockey and in life outside the rink at www.heroesinrehab.ca/blog. Everything he writes is “too long.”
Formerly the rhythm guitarist and lead singer of stuff for Canadian indie rock icons “Heroes in Rehab”, Junior has demonstrated over the years that he can underachieve on the ice as well as on the stage, serving as the world’s premiere “(please) stay at home (and don’t come to the rink)” defenceman on several execrable beer league teams in the late 1990s. After coming to the realization in his early 30s that the Leafs probably aren’t going to draft him, he began working for a living at a real job. He is a Rheostatics fan and a voracious reader who enjoys tacos for dinner and has a very patient wife.
A Dave Keon man early in life, he has since included both Darryl Sittler and Wendel Clark in his own personal Hockey Hall of Fame. The Nazem Kadri Wing is currently in the design phase.
Garrett Bauman – Garrett is a research consultant and literacy advocate who moonlights as a Leafs blogger, web developer, and occasional gourmet chef. His mythical woodshed has been referred to by some as the eighth wonder of the world.”
Nikhil Daljeet - Nikhil has been a blogger at Maple Leafs Hot Stove since its inception in September 2008. The Leafs are an emotionally-disruptive source of entertainment (and frustration) in his life. He is also a proud Sundin-apologist and can be reached at NikhilDaljeet@MapleLeafsHotStove.com.
Daniel Santos – Daniel formerly blogged about the Maple Leafs for thescore.com’s “Six Pack” and has been blogging for Maple Leafs Hot Stove since September of 2009. He also serves as an Editorial Coordinator at The Score Television Network. “There’s nothing I enjoy more than hearing my opinions heard, and debated, by Maple Leafs fans everywhere.”
Andrew R - Andrew is a rabid hockey fan and player. Still playing 4-5 times a week, 12 months a year, he is wondering how much longer his body will hold up. ”Affectionately referred to as ‘toe drag Andrew’ by all that have played with and against him, all I can say is if you know its coming, why cant you stop it? When you can, I will hang em up! Professionally, I am the CEO of Cartika Inc and part time MLHS blogger. My blogging focus is primarily the business of hockey: asset management, cap management, business continuity and long term sustainability and viability. I garner the most pleasure in analyzing, dissecting and debating managerial strategies and decisions and their ultimate outcomes.”
Brad Stowe - Brad is a lifelong hockey fan. From the days of listening to radio broadcasts when he was supposed to be sleeping during the Ballard years, to the painful, trying times of JFJ, Brad has always maintained a hardened passion for all things Blue and White. His amateur writing days began on his own blog, Repressed Optimism. He was asked to join the MLHS team in January of 2009. When not watching, reading, writing, playing and breathing hockey, Brad is a jack-of-all-trades IT Manager.
Richard Steven Williams – Born in Birmingham, England and raised in the clement climes of the Cornish Riviera, Richard’s love of hockey was borne in a childhood of video games, Transworld Sport, and the Lillehammer Winter Olympics. Having gone on to complete a degree in English, Richard became a reviewer for the Metal Observer and then a fan blogger on sites such as NHLConnect.com and HockeyBuzz.com. Richard is now a contributor on the MapleLeafsHotStove.com and has since relocated to Toronto.
