heavy metal station 106.7 KBPI.

Justin also created and manages the annual Quest for the Crown charity hockey
festival, which includes the Top of the Mountain table hockey event.

Hockey Writer of the Year Award
Someone I've quoted at THH a few times, e.g. in the thread "Playoff Trash Talk,"
is Yahoo!'s Greg Wyshynski, aka "PuckDaddy." He won Glenn Anderson's "Hockey
Writer of the Year" award. Puck Daddy's webpage
http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy

By the way, in doing some research I found and watched Glenn Anderson's Hockey
Hall of Fame acceptance speech, which I found really moving. Great speech! I
included the link at my thread at THH (follow link below).

Goldman President of the Hockey Guild, has been recognized as an outstanding new
voice for hockey. He is nominated for the "Glenn Anderson Leaderhip in Writing
Award" to be presented this week at the NHL Awards events and ceremonies in Las
Vegas, NV.
>
> The Glenn Anderson Leaderhip in Writing Award - "will be awarded to the writer
who demonstrates a desire to help build and grow the popularity of ice hockey,
both throughout North America and across the globe."
>
> Justin has done just that by being a friend to us, helping us, the table
hockey (TH) community, by including and featuring table hockey as one of the
events ("Top of the Mountain") at his annual "Quest for the Crown" series of
all-things-hockey- related events held in Denver, Colorado. "Quest for the
Crown," raises money for both local needs (usually children) in the noble fight
against cancer and the NHL's charity, "Hockey Fights Cancer."
>
> Justin, has included and promoted TH in his writing, websites and on his
Denver area sports radio and television spots with well-known sports journalists
and personalities.
>
> In turn, some of us have supported Justin by: making donations to me in person
while up at tournaments in Quebec, loaning or supplying boards at a discount,
attending the events in Denver, helping out when I couldn't make it to Denver
this year, helping me work with Stiga USA, custom Coleco www.CanadaHockeyTab
le.com or getting the Chexx game ready for tournament play, or promoting QC and
TOTM on our websites and chat boards such as www.TableHockeyHeav en.com,
www.NYCTHA.us, or http://games. groups.yahoo. com/group/ TableHockeyTaver n/ or
http://games. groups.yahoo. com/group/ ccth/.
> I "thank all of you!" / "Merci Beaucoup!"
>
> From the moment we first communicated with each other out in Denver to work
together on the first annual QC event, I believed our vision would promote table
hockey's standing with the public and with the NHL. I think this confirms that
thought. The next step is for more of us to step forward to increase our support
as a community as the "Quest for the Crown" and "Top of the Mountain" move
forward.

> Whether Justin wins this award or not, I hope you'll recognize his tireless
work and contributions on our behalf and on the behalf of others most needy by
supporting this event next year!

almost single-handedly created a new community of local hockey players dedicated
to advancing and enhancing Colorado's hockey scene.

Glenn Anderson attached to it. For those of you that don't know, Anderson was
one of the most skilled and passionate players for the Edmonton Oilers during
their dynasty in the 1980's. He was chosen to join the Hockey Hall of Fame and
will be inducted during the annual ceremony in November.
