Old Prof – Contributor
The Old Prof taught for more than 40 years in the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta. He’s a Canadian boy, who has two degrees from the University of Kentucky and a doctorate from the University of Texas. He is now failing at retirement on Vancouver Island, where he lives with his family. His hobbies include playing with hockey cards and simply being a sports fan.
He likes hockey (obviously), the Toronto Raptors, and CFL football. If you wonder why he doesn’t use his real name, it’s because his son – who’s also Jim Parsons – writes for The Hockey Writers and NHL TradeTalk and asked me (Jim Sr.) to use another name so readers wouldn’t confuse their work.
Spencer Lazary – Contributor
Spencer is a hockey writer who covers the Toronto Maple Leafs at The Hockey Writers. He also covered the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Main Site at The Hockey News. He is also featured in Fantrax, where he writes about fantasy hockey. He has been writing for four years and loves to bring quality content to his readers.
Jordan Manning – Contributor
