Growing up in the heart of Las Vegas, I never imagined my hometown would become a hockey mecca. But when the Vegas Golden Knights burst onto the scene in 2017, it was love at first puck drop. As a die-hard fan, I cheered through every thrilling win and heartbreaking loss, but my passion for the game quickly evolved into something deeper—a fascination with the numbers behind the action.
Hockey isn’t just a sport; it’s a puzzle. As a former beer-league goalie, I’ve always understood the game’s nuances, but diving into advanced metrics like Corsi, xGF%, and high-danger saves opened up a whole new world. Suddenly, I wasn’t just watching the Knights—I was analyzing them, breaking down lineups, and uncovering the hidden stories behind every shift.
Today, I’m proud to blend my hometown pride with razor-sharp hockey analysis. Whether I’m dissecting Chandler Stephenson’s success at 1C, tracking the Silver Knights’ prospects, or debating trade deadline targets, my goal is simple: to make hockey analytics accessible, engaging, and unapologetically Vegas.
But let’s be clear—I’m a superfan first. My ringtone is "Luck Be a Lady," my shrine to the 2023 Cup run is borderline obsessive, and I’ll die on the hill that William Karlsson’s 2017-18 season was pure brilliance. I wear my fandom on my sleeve, but I’m not afraid to call out the Knights’ flaws when the data demands it.
Through my podcast, The Knights’ Roundtable, and my signature catchphrase, "All hail the data crown," I’ve built a platform to share my passion with fellow fans and stats nerds alike. Whether I’m feuding with Oilers fans over spreadsheets or comparing Jack Eichel’s recovery timeline to a blackjack hot streak, I’m here to prove that hockey analysis can be as thrilling as a Knights’ power play.
Covering the Golden Knights isn’t just a job—it’s a dream come true. Vegas isn’t just my home; it’s my identity. And as long as there’s hockey to analyze and hot takes to deliver, I’ll be here, blending stats, fandom, and Vegas pride into one unforgettable ride.
