My Bio and Intro

Bio of Marc Hennebury written by Belinda Degrow:

There can be a lot said for the power of passion in sport. Marc Hennebury, 18 of Ottawa, came to Laurier Brantford to study journalism. But while journalism is his major, sports are his passion. Hoping to one day go into sports reporting , Hennebury says that while he does not consider himself an athlete per say, he has had a general love of the game for as long as he can remember.
This love of the game has taken the form of a long-time affiliation with hockey and basketball, both played by Hennebury in Canada and the United States. While living in California for a brief period, Hennebury excelled at hockey, bringing his quintessentially Canadian skills to play in a region not quite as invested in the power of the puck.
However, hockey was not the only thing that held his interest and so Hennebury also became involved in basketball, which he describes as having been more difficult for him. “When I lived in California I was better at hockey and struggled at basketball...when I moved back to Ottawa it flipped and I was an ok hockey player and one of the strongest basketball players.”
While Laurier Brantford does not have any varsity teams that Hennebury can try out for, the campus does offer a variety of intramurals including dodge ball, volleyball, and yes, basketball and hockey. When asked if he would be interested in going out for intramurals this year, Hennebury said yes.

Intro:

The purpose of my blog is to write about the less publicized stories in sports. A lot goes on in the sports world that you won’t hear about if you only watch the large sports conglomerates like ESPN or TSN. I want to talk about these stories and give my opinion while infusing my sense of humour in the stories. My blog will be different from other people’s blogs on similar topics because I have a unique style of writing that will add a different element to the same stories. Also most popular blogs and websites are based in the U.S. and pay little or no attention to leagues that are popular in Canada like the NHL or the CFL. I plan to give these sports the attention they deserve and won’t discriminate against curling because it isn’t popular in America. I am following my topic by visiting several sport’s blogs and websites and listening to podcasts to stay constantly up to date on sports stories.
