    iTalkHockey would like to welcome Nass Idebdou as a Featured Columnist.

    Nass will contribute on our player movement news and rumors blog, as well as our Entertainment blog. As we are about her joining iTalkHockey, Nass is very excited about writing for us.

    “This is my first shot at writing for a hockey blog, and this opportunity is definitely one that will allow me to get a hands on experience in sports journalism and use my writing skills to talk puck!”

    About Nass

    Born and raised in Montreal, Nass is currently living in Ottawa but will soon move back to her beloved hometown. So, which team does she cheer for?

    “My favorite hockey team is indeed the Chicago Blackhawks, but hometown duties oblige, I favor the Montreal Canadiens in the East!”

    Nass is currently a Finance Major, and hopes to combine her passion for sports with a career in the sports industry. She’s a true sports chick, who follows the NFL (the Bears), tennis, soccer, baseball, basketball (hopefully again by New Year’s) and of course hockey.

    Stephanie Frizell joins iTalkHockey as Featured Columnist 

    iTalkHockey is excited to announce the addition of another Featured Columnist: Stephanie Frizell.

    Stephanie will contribute on a variety of our blogs. With countless hours of watching hockey under her belt, we have no doubt she will be an asset to our writing team.

    Welcome Stephanie!

    About Stephanie

    If you’ve never met a die-hard Toronto Maple Leafs fan yet, than you’ve never met Stephanie. She’s a supporter through thick and thin, no doubt about it. But don’t let that fool you. She’s a very knowledgeable hockey fan and knows anything and everything about all the teams and players in the league.

    Asked why she wanted to write for iTalkHockey, Stephanie said that “it would provide an outlet for my hockey talk as most of my friends are clearly from a non-sports planet.”

    We suspect her real reason is she has a secret plan to convert all of our readers into Leafs fans… we’ll have to keep an eye on her.

    Radu Nicolae becomes iTalkHockey’s latest personnel addition 

    iTalkHockey would like to announce another member of our team: Radu Nicolae!

    Radu will be our Programmer and Database Specialist. He will be in charge of back-end development for the site, including database design, implementation, and management.

    Welcome Radu!
