About Bob H

Bob H

It all started with a kid-sized Koho hockey stick, an orange Mylec puck and your standard Abbott's milk crate. The Flyers making the 1984-85
season one of the most special in franchise history, complete with a Stanley Cup Finals appearance, didn't hurt either.

Since then, Bob H has participated in, broadcasted, seen on TV or attended more than 2,000 hockey games at every level from recreational leagues on up to the NHL.

The good news is, it's created a tremendous backlog of experiences from which he can draw material, That's also the bad news, because it always ends up a couple hundred words too long. James Joyce would be proud, though.

Bob currently works for a North American-based internet sports wire service, where he watches all or part of roughly 400 college and NHL games per season, writing game recaps, feature stories and season previews.

You can find him lost in nostalgia, or up in the press box on South Broad Street, or on the road to hockey locales along the East Coast.

Favorite Hockey Movie: Slap Shot
Favorite Hockey Song: Hit Somebody - Warren Zevon (with David Letterman)
Favorite Hockey Locale: Broadcast booth, Conte Forum at Boston College
