We’ve started off with a team of about eight writers, each with a passion for the sports and topics they’re covering, most with a lifetime of experience to back it up. They range from lifetime rec league athletes to professional hockey players with NHL experience. Some of them played sports simply because of their love for it, with their joy for the game surpassing their skill set and forcing them to get normal jobs like the rest of us. Others have the credentials to back up every word they’re typing, having reached some of the higher levels of their sport, be it provincial and national championships or making it all the way to the show.
Yet none of that matters here. We’re never going to apologize for speaking our mind on anything and everything that transpires in sports, nor should any legitimate sports fan. The Backcheck is a range of views on the sporting world from guys who don’t want to get off their couch to guys who have done things the rest of us have always dreamt of. It’s a group of guys’ opinions and beliefs on what they watch or what they play, in the same way you and your buddies fire back and forth at each other at the pub: these are those thoughts, online for you to click on whenever the hell you feel like it.
So hate it, love it, disagree with us, tell us we’re scum. We don’t want it any other way. It’s that same passion that got us to do this thing in the first place. We want you to read it, but if you don’t, well, we’re still going to write it, because it’s what we like to do. So kick back, grab a beer, a protein shake if you’re a fan of Jordan, and turn up the game that’s playing in the background. No one said you had to take this thing too seriously.
Now let’s get going.
