Bronson
Bronson is a product of Chelmsford, MA. Similar to most kids growing up in Massachusetts, his dream was to one day play in the NHL, for the Boston Bruins. Unfortunately, he never took well to the sport. He was the only student cut from a Freshman hockey team all players were said to make. It was a tough pill to swallow, but it forced him to identify a new dream; and so he turned in his hockey skates for a microphone. After dropping out of high school to pursue a career in singing, he returned home following a disappointing audition on season one of 'American Idol'. Unable to rely on his voice for a living, he shifted focus back towards education and eventually earned his GED. In years since, he's spent time sharpening skates and driving zamboni for a local hockey rink, and recently opened his own sporting goods store. Additionally, he now joins our team of writers. Looks like he'll be using his voice for a living after all.

Billerica
Billerica was born and raised in, well, you guessed it, Billerica, MA. Sharing a namesake with her hometown proved difficult throughout her youth, and she was often times the butt of school yard humor. Rough around the edges by nature, and among efforts to stand up for herself, she became no stranger to confrontation and school suspensions. Eventually, as a suggestion to help release anger in a healthy manner, a student counselor floated the idea of participating in a contact sport. Initially defiant, Billerica conceded, and turned her attention to hockey. She was a natural. Later on, and as the only female on the high school roster, she would lead her team in hits, goals, and misconducts. In 2000, her playing career came to an end after just one season at Salve Regina due to an undisclosed "off-ice incident". Today she manages adult hockey leagues across Massachusetts. We are thrilled to have an enforcer on our team.

Morris
A proud native of Lowell, MA, Morris has always been a student to his surroundings. As the youngest of six children, he woke each day to a noisy, congested household. Yet, through all the commotion, he would always notice his father, peacefully sipping coffee while reading the morning paper; undistracted, as though he were all alone. Through this observation, Morris realized the power of the written word. He concluded that while, yes, individuals read for enjoyment and education, they mainly do so as a temporary escape from reality. As he grew older, Morris would time and again walk by the Lowell Sun Newspaper Building and stare with increasing interest. A fire was beginning to burn within him, a passion for writing. Graduate of Middlesex Community College, he became the first member of his family to earn a Bachelor's degree. He's since spent over two-decades in hockey journalism and we are pleased to welcome him to our roster.
