Erin Manning is a self-published fiction writer who first discovered hockey when watching the Blues-Bruins Stanley Cup Final games in 2019. Like many other first-time hockey watchers she quickly found an insatiable appetite for the sport and closely follows two teams, the Carolina Hurricanes and the Montreal Canadiens. She posts far too frequently on hockey Twitter (X) and is always glad to learn from and interact with long-time fans of the sport.
