Tampa Bay Lightning (in case the user name and avatar weren't enough of a giveaway)
JGHL time served: since the beginning
Birthplace: Calgary, Alberta
Now Residing: Lethbridge, Alberta (Two hours south of Calgary)
Occupation: It's a little tricky to answer nowadays but I will try. Historically have been a Drilling Fluids Technician (mud man) in the oil field but with that taking an absolute nosedive recently I have been working as an Aquatic Invasive Species Inspector with Alberta Environment. I will end that in 3 weeks and take over the excting (more like terrifying) job of stay at home dad for my 5 kids while my wife goes back to teaching.
Current Obsession: Reading. I have a lot of downtime at my job so I am reading a lot (25 books so far this summer) and going off a a list to kind of change up the types of books that I am reading. It has been both hit and miss in giving me the opportunity to read books I never would have that were awesome as well as some real duds that although highly rated were boring as hell.
Other Hobbies: Sports is the big one. Like others have said on here recently with cutting back on fantasy stuff I am cutting back on sports I follow. I was a big baseball but now have cut it out pretty much completely (although I do think the Jays are the team I hate most in all sports which is odd since I don't follow baseball anymore other than to hope they lose). I have moved on to focus on only (I know that will sound odd with the amount of sports I list) to Hockey, Soccer (not MLS), Rugyby and NFL, in that order. In terms of playing/participating I try to golf as much as I can which with 5 kids means 4-5 times a year, hopefully will get back into skiing now that kids are older and hopefully can get a dog to join me on my walks/runs that I keep telling myself I will do to get some activity in my life, again helped by the fact that kids are old enough to not grab at dogs tail, feet, face etc. (you may be getting a sense of what runs my life at his point).
Fav Sports Teams: Calgary Flames, Tottenham Hotspur, Saracens (Aviva Premiership), Stormers (Super 18) and Detroit Lions.
Something not too many know about you: I am stunningly handsome!
Fav Super Hero: Daredevil was a funny movie does that count? I don't really know much about comics/superheroes
Star Wars or Star Trek? Neither, but I guess I thought Stars Wars were entertaining movies just have no interest in it beyond that so I guess Star Wars
Gretzky, Lemieux, Howe, or Orr? Crosby

Great idea Calgary! I mean Chris Name: Eugene Sorokin, Eug for short or Evgeni if we're going by my Soviet union birth name Team: Toronto Maple Leafs (the one that won something since 1967) JGHL time served: since the beginning of time Birthplace: Kiev, Ukraine (left when i was 3) Now Residing: just north of Toronto, Canada What I'm doing with my life: in HR/recruiting but taking a break to figure out what i wanna do next, while driving for Uber to earn some surprisingly decent loot Current Obsessions: Golf, Reddit, proper exercising, Boom Beach Other Hobbies: hiking, scenic drives, bball, watching good documentaries, eating weird shit Fav Sports Teams: Raptors, Leafs, Jays (shocker lol) but have always liked and rooted for the Blues, Sharks, OKC Thunder, and yes the Flames who sold me with their Iginla led runs, and all the hot girls that cheered them on, plus Monahan now so ill continue to cheer them on. Something not too many know about you: I played the violin from 4-10, apparently was pretty dece Fav Super Hero: Batman (Keaton, then Bale, then Affleck who was the only bright spot in BvS) Star Wars or Star Trek? Both but grew up with Next Gen which is one of my fav shows ever, love all the feature movies too so guess I'm more of a Trekie Gretzky, Lemieux, Howe, or Orr? I'm a Super Mario guy, he was in his prime when i was just getting into hockey in the 90s so watching him score on 1 on 5 rushes was something special, and always stuck with me. Then being diagnosed, beating it, and coming back to play at nearly the same level, it cemented him as an all time fav.
