I've just accepted an offer to write for the Gallatin News Examiner and the Hendersonville Star News (both Gannett-owned), and since that area has a couple of high-school hockey teams (JPII and Hendersonville, plus the Beech/Station Camp squad), I expect to be covering some games this season.

I've done it in the past as a freelancer, but now my role will be as a full-time writer. I can't be for sure how much I'll be able to get out, but I'll take as many games as they'll allow me to do. I hope to be able to do a bit of a preview as well as the season approaches, so I might need some help getting info for other teams as well.

So for any of you who have some knowledge on the other teams that you'd like to share with me, I'd be much appreciative. One of the best ways to help grow the game is give it exposure, and I'd like to do my part in a position where I'll be given an opportunity to do so.

If you have info you'd like to send to me, shoot an email to me, Chris, at cbrooks851@gmail.com.

Thanks, and let's hope high school games aren't the only ones we'll see in the Nashville area this fall!
