Brendan Azoff

I have been an avid hockey fan my entire life, and first laced up skates at the age of three. Now, I am a 22-year-old from Brooklyn, NY, who is looking to share my passion for the sport of hockey through my writing. As a 2020 graduate from the State University of New York at Cortland with a BS in Sport Management and a Minor in Communications, I am eager to provide readers with the best possible content they can have. My previous work can be seen on 12Up Sports, Blue Line Station, Puck Prose, and Yanks Go Yard, and I am ecstatic to start contributing to The Hockey Writers as well.
