    Ice hockey is my biggest passion, but with it being a minor sport in New Zealand it rarely benefits from media coverage by the major outlets - I wanted to change that.So I established Puck Yeah NZ in 2017, first as a podcast, before quickly expanding to operate as a news & social media service that covers domestic leagues and the national teams.In 2019 I traveled with the New Zealand Ice Blacks to the USA and Mexico to cover their training camp and IIHF World Championship campaign, along with hosting the Winter Games NZ's live ice hockey coverage on Sky Sport.
