What to Expect On This Blog

Three popular websites for similar information are: www.tsn.ca, www.sportsnet.ca, and www.torontomapleleafs.com. The difference between my blog and their websites is that they come at it from an expert’s point of view. To fully grasp what they’re saying, you must have a pretty good understanding of sports, so their target is the sports fan audience. My target is the person who doesn’t know much about sports, so they could check out my blog and then be equipped to go to one of the other websites.

I will do a good balance of original posts, and heads up posts. If a major sports site has a story, I will do a quick heads up post to inform followers about the recent news. If I have an opinion to share, I will do so with an original comment post, with stats to back up my opinion. Original comment posts will be more common when there isn’t a game or there is a lack of other action surrounding the club. When there’s no news, I will make news.

My voice will be professional and formal, so readers know I’m knowledgeable, but also opinionated so there will be content that makes the readers think, and decide whether they agree or disagree. There will be explanations in my entries of tougher hockey concepts, and my “style” will be to inform the reader of questions they may have so they don’t have to do another google search. I plan to expose very little about my personal life, not because I’m scared of it, but because I don’t feel it is necessary.

A Quick Look: Chris Metzger

Everyone knows that your blood is originally blue, and then when your blood hits the surface it turns red. Chris Metzger bleeds blue and white, and this is because he doesn’t just bleed ordinary blood, he bleeds the blue and white of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Chris Metzger loves his hockey and has been around it ever since he first laced skates at the age of nine and he has been a Leafs fan just as long. Chris lives in Drayton, Ontario which has a huge Leaf fan base and that was the main reason for him choosing Toronto as his beloved hockey team.

Chris’ passions for hockey also lead him to becoming a consistent viewer of TSN which is a largely viewed sports station in Canada. Chris’ love for sports lead him to watching TSN, but it was a sports journalist by the name of Jay Onrait whose daily dose of comedic sports reporting on the show began to draw Chris’ attention, so much so, that it made him idolize Onrait and sees Onrait's job as the profession he wishes to have when looking forward in his life. However, Chris is no one trick pony and that is shown through his love of other sports such as baseball, basketball and football and although he admits he is not very successful in any of them he says that it doesn’t stop him from enjoying them. Chris is focused on making a name for himself in broadcasting and says that his dream is to one day reach the ranks of TSN which would fulfill a goal of his that stands very tall. Hopefully Chris’ light hearted attitude towards life continues to bring him much success in his future findings along the path of broadcasting, but for now he is just working hard.
