Young and driven by a fresh viewpoint of the NHL, Shmyr first found his love for writing in music, and was a SOCAN Top Young Canadian Songwriter award nominee two years in a row. Having played hockey growing up before transitioning into lacrosse to play Junior lacrosse in the RMLL, sports runs deep in Shmyr's story. He looks forward to the opportunity to write for his (basically) home team of the Winnipeg Jets.
