Tom Castro

I'm a resident of the Chicago area by way of White Plains, NY. I worked for the Associated Press sports department in New York City for 10 years before moving to the Midwest in 2005, when the AP's then-internet division entered into a joint venture with STATS LLC. I worked for STATS for 11 years, until 2016. I'm very excited to be a part of The Hockey Writers.
