I'm your host, Morgan Tierney. I'm the captain/goalie of the Wellwoods and, at least until the crushing media pressure starts to interfere with my performance causing me to step down and give the 'C' to a rising-star forward, I will be running things around here.
So, what should you expect to find here? I thought long and hard about this. Because we only participate in a few events per year (regionals, nationals, and the odd charity event), we are definitely going to need more content than just Wellwoods stuff. And as much as I like talking about myself (who doesn't?) my life lacks the requisite "eventfulness" demanded by readers of the great wide Blogoblog. Nobody cares about my breakfast, my station wagon, or my government job. Not even me.
Another option would be for me to write a straight-up Canucks blog... it would be easy for me because my Canuck obsession dates back twenty-something years and shows no signs of slowing down. But that would only serve to tread on the toes of other awesome, hilarious blogs like Pass It To Bulis and the Kurtenblog. Try as I might, I simply cannot be as funny as them. Thus, after much deliberation, I've decided that our blog, like our team, will be built around the Three Pillars of Kyle Wellwood, and will consist of the following:
- Soft Hands: hockey news, with a blatant Canuck bias, and a focus on Wellwoodian quirks. All of us have played ice hockey at a high enough level to provide expert analysis.
- Sharp Minds: commentary by the Wellwoods members on any topic that catches our fancy. Ideally, each of us will have our own musings column.
- Overall Adorableness: links to things like cat videos. I hear there's a shortage of cats on the internet. This must be rectified.
So there you have it. Follow us on Twitter @TheWellwoods, and until next time, keep your sticks on the ice and remember that going to the gym causes night blindness.
