Growing up largely on the east coast of Canada, my father and brothers were big Montreal Canadiens fans. Hockey is an incredible sport to watch and to play but there’s a lot wrong with the NHL so I don’t talk much publicly about being a hockey fan. That said, I follow the Canadiens closely and I find myself enjoying what is written and said about the team even more than I do watching the games. Two of my favourite sports journalists are Arpon Basu and Marc Antoine Godin, formerly of Le Support Athlétique and now of the Basu and Godin Notebook. On a recent episode of the latter, they mentioned needing some theme music for one of their segments, I hurried something together for them, and to my delight they are using it. These are quality human beings, if you enjoy sports-journalism I recommend their podcast and their writing.
