Anna HeadleyWriter (Quad City Storm)

Currently working towards her Bachelor’s, Anna wrote for the Black Hawk College newspaper The Chieftain for two years while earning her associates. During that time, she served as editor of the paper for one semester. Since winning tickets in a raffle during the 2010-11 season, she quickly became a fan of the sport. She’s played dek hockey for ten seasons and backstopped her team to three consecutive championships over that span. Her Twitter @authoranna, is sarcastic and nerdy, with the occasional funny hockey video.

I attended my first hockey game when I was 10 years old and have loved the game ever since. I began to combine my love for the game with my love for photography while living in Texas. I enjoy capturing all levels of hockey from beer league to pro. Every season I try to visit at least one new arena and I’m not afraid to drive hundreds of miles to see a game. These days on the weekend you can usually find me at a rink behind a camera in the D.C./Pennsylvania area.

I have been a hockey fan since the age of eight and thoroughly enjoyed watching games in the old Kansas Coliseum. There was nothing like the sound of a packed house of rabid Thunder fans. When I am not at a rink, I can be found behind the mic for KFDI News, where I have won several Kansas Association of Broadcasters awards. I fully embrace the grind and a full believer that you get what you give.

Barry JanssenWriter (Allen Americans)

I was born in South Dakota but raised in the Minneapolis suburb of Bloomington, Minnesota. I was never much of a hockey player as basketball was my winter sport of choice. I became a huge hockey fan when I attended the University of Minnesota in the late 1960’s early 1970’s. I was a season ticket holder during the Herb Brooks years when he won NCAA championships in 1974,1976, & 1979 before he coached the Miracle on Ice Team in 1980. I was also a big Minnesota North Stars fan when they arrived in Minnesota for the 1967-1968 season.

Other than the time I spend following the Allen Americans, I enjoy hunting and fishing whether it is walleye fishing in Canada and Minnesota, Pheasant hunting in North Dakota, Bass fishing on the creeks of the Flint Hills in Kansas, fishing private ponds, dove hunting or turkey hunting in Texas.

I was born and raised in England and moved to the United States in 1999 at the age of 24.

While living in Virginia, I became a huge Washington Capitals fan & continue to support and follow them since moving to Florida.

I have been a motorsports photographer for over 20 years, primarily shooting pictures at Monster Truck shows.

I started shooting pictures at the Jacksonville Icemen ECHL games that I attended during their inaugural season. The positive response to the hundreds of pictures I shared on Facebook pages prompted me to start a Jacksonville Icemen Photography Facebook page.

I’m now happy to be able to share my pictures on the Sin Bin.

Brad HarrisonWriter (Macon Mayhem)

A native of South Georgia, I became hooked on hockey in 1996 when a group of us went to see the Tallahassee Tiger Sharks. Ironically, that team’s starting goalie, Mark Richards, was the GM when pro hockey made its return to Macon under the Mayhem banner.

While in school at The University of Georgia (Go, Ice Dawgs), one of my favorite things being able to easily attend multiple Thrashers games. Needless to say, one of the saddest times of my life was the selling of the team by the Atlanta Spirit Group.

I’ve lived in Macon since 2006 (Yes, home of the Whoopee) and have covered the Mayhem since the very first exhibition game. My interests outside of hockey include Georgia football, purveying BBQ and spending time with our three-year old daughter, Annie.

Hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana, and still a New Orleans Brass fan, Mike began following hockey in a time when his beloved Edmonton Oilers were collecting Stanley Cups instead of #1 draft picks.

Residing in Lafayette since 2005, he eventually learned how to chomp for the Louisiana IceGators. After years of collecting more dust than ice time and deemed too dangerous to play with sticks and sharp objects, Mike began to write about hockey.

Now covering the SPHL for The Sin Bin, Mike can be followed on Twitter @SinBinSPHL, on Facebook at facebook.com/sinbinsphl

I am a student attending Valencia College and enrolled in their Sound and Music Technology program. While I am a Florida Panthers fan, I also am a season ticket holder for my home town team, the Orlando Solar Bears of the ECHL. I also will sometimes travel to other arenas such as the Germain Arena in Southwest Florida and the Charleston Coliseum in South Carolina. I even went to the WesBanco Arena to watch the Wheeling Nailers in the 2016 Kelly Cup Finals and to meet the Wheeling Nailers announcer DJ Abisalih.

Bryan MeeksPhotographer (Macon Mayhem)

I was born and raised in Macon, Georgia. Being from the south, hockey did not always sound appealing. I have been hooked ever since I overcame my hesitation and watched the Macon Whoopee play. A few years later I was able to see the Macon Trax play for a championship against the rival Columbus Cottonmouths. Unfortunately, that was the last time there would be a hockey team in Macon for 10 years. In 2015, the Macon Mayhem were announced and I was ecstatic. During the second year of the Mayhem, I started taking photos at the game for fun and posting them on my Instagram. The Mayhem liked the work I had done and asked me to be an official photographer for the 17-18 season. I am constantly upgrading my equipment and abilities as I start my photography career. I am proud to be part of #TeamSinBin.

Dana Barker is excited to join The Sin Bin as an SPHL contributor, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge of the league to the team.

He has been around the SPHL since its inception in 2004. For the first two years of the league, he was the play-by-play broadcaster (one of only two in the league at the time) for the Columbus Cottonmouths, calling the league’s inaugural championship that went to the Snakes. He remained with the team until their suspension of operations in 2017, serving in various capacities including public address announcer, in-arena DJ and music man, and Director of Communications for the team. Dana also covered the Cottonmouths for the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer newspaper in the team’s final season.

Barker has also filled in as a PA announcer and play-by-play man at various times for the Huntsville Havoc, Knoxville Ice Bears, Macon Mayhem, and Mississippi RiverKings.

In 2011, Dana was the host of the first leaguewide podcast, “SPHL Weekly.” Teaming with former Knoxville off-ice official Robert Berglof, the show lasted one season. SPHL Weekly hosted players, coaches, league officials, and the SPHL Player of the Week each week.

Barker has also worked with the Columbus Lions indoor football team as a PA announcer, music man, scoreboard operator, and also as head referee for the team’s former youth indoor football program. He has also officiated various inline hockey leagues around the Columbus area and is currently a football official for the Alabama High School Athletic Association.

Dana works full-time in data and analytics for Total System Services, located in Columbus. He is also a staff meteorologist for WLTZ-TV in Columbus as he holds a master’s degree in applied meteorology from Mississippi State University. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Columbus State University.

Barker resides in Auburn, Ala. (War Eagle!) with his wife, Sarah, and toddler son, Colin.

I was hooked on hockey at an early age from attending Hartford Whalers games. My fondest hockey memories though were the mid 90’s battles between the Tulsa Oilers and Oklahoma City Blazers in the old Central Hockey League. I’ve been covering hockey for the last 7 years. I covered the ECHL’s Wheeling Nailers for four years, and I’ve been on the beat of the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms for the last 3 years.

Matt ThomasChief Technology Officer

Living just south of the Quad Cities on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River, I became a hockey fan back in 1995 at the age of 15. The inaugural season of the Quad City Mallards turned me into a fan after going to just second game of the team’s existence and I instantly became hooked on the great sport of hockey. I’ve been a hardcore fan since that day, and had it not been for the team’s startup, I may have never been a fan of the sport. I live and die with the orange and black of the Broad Street Bullies and the Philadelphia Flyers as my favorite NHL team.

When away from The Sin Bin, I am a computer nerd who enjoys building and repairing computers. I also help my younger brother create independent films for his Motive Direct Pictures along with building and maintaining websites with my Mayhem Web Design “company”.

Cameron TurnerWriter (Texas Stars)

Hello, my name is Cameron Turner, and I am covering the Texas Stars for TheSinBin.net.  I was born in Stillwater, OK, and even though Oklahoma isn’t a hockey hotbed, I fell in love with the game from the early age of five.  In 1992-93 the Central Hockey League came back, and my dad took me to a Tulsa Oilers game against the Wichita Thunder.  Tulsa won 6-1, and I was hooked.  I wanted to go to a game anytime I could, and I watched any game I could find on TV.  Then the next season the Stars came to Dallas from Minnesota, and now I had a team on TV almost every game.  The Stars became my team, and over the years I learned most of what I know from the great Stars broadcast team of Ralph Strangis and Darryl “Razor” Reaugh.  They were the best team around, and I began to really understand the game.  Following Dallas and Tulsa became the single biggest passion of my sports world.  After over 20 years of studying the game, I started posting videos and articles on Instagram, and interacting with fellow fans.  Over the course of last season I began to develop a small following, which led to the opportunity to be published by HockeyClan.  Now I am excited to join #TeamSinBin, and am thrilled to have the opportunity to cover the Texas Stars this season.

Geoff considers himself a Kentucky-born Florida boy. Oddly enough, despite there being hockey in Louisville every season but one while Geoff lived there, he fell in love with hockey after moving to Florida.

Geoff is a former intern and later the Communications & Marketing Manager for the Pensacola Ice Flyers, worked for the original ESPN Pensacola as Operations Manager, was briefly an intern for the ECHL’s Greenville Road Warriors, and has previously written for Pro Hockey News and The Hockey Writers as well as his own team specific blogs covering the Ice Flyers and the CHL’s Fort Worth Brahmas.

Geoff currently lives in Pensacola with his wife. He’s a Tampa Bay Lightning fan and she (after not caring about hockey until she met him) is an Anaheim Ducks fan.

I have lived my whole life in Toledo, OH and am late to being a hockey fan. I joined the bandwagon in high school with a love of the Detroit Red Wings. In 2011, I picked up a camera for the first time and began shooting the Toledo Walleye while attending games as a fan.

From there, it blossomed into a love of hockey and hockey photography.

Born in Fort Wayne, IN, I attended my first hockey game at one week old in Fort Wayne at a Komets game. I moved to Indianapolis when I was five and when I found out that Indianapolis was getting a professional hockey team, I was ecstatic. I got season tickets to the inaugural Indy Fuel season when I was 11. Not only am I a fan, but I played youth hockey for 11 years. I guess you could say I really like hockey.

C.C. was raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado by a loving father who took him to Colorado College hockey games as a youngster. This early exposure to hockey resonated with C.C. and was only encouraged when the Quebec Nordiques moved down to Denver to become the Colorado Avalanche in 1995. After following the IHL’s Utah Grizzlies and WCHL’s Colorado Gold Kings, C.C. settled on the Idaho Steelheads as his favorite minor league hockey squad after his family moved to The Gem State in 2000.
Aside from his duties as ECHL Editor, C.C. also hosts the In The Corners Podcast and is a correspondent for the Idaho Steelheads. He has also earned an Associate’s Degree in Communication, and occasionally appears as a guest on the sports podcast The Gametime Guru with Shane Larson.

My interest in hockey began 27 years ago when my uncle took me to the CapitalCentre (later USAir Arena) to see the Capitals take on the New York Rangers. Since that night I have been a loyal Caps fan “Rocking the Red” when it comes to NHL hockey. In 1996, my family moved to Wheeling, WV. I attended 2 late season Wheeling Nailers games with a high school group in March of 1997 and have been hooked on this ECHL team ever since.

I currently live in Wheeling, WV with my wife and son. When not around the rink I’m either working my full time job or playing with my son. I can be heard most Wednesday afternoons from 5-6pm on Steve Novotney Live on AM1600 WKKX Wheeling and on TuneIn radio app.

Having lived most of my life in Okinawa, Japan, you wouldn’t think that I love ice hockey or know much about it coming from that tropical island. But, I played hockey for a long part of my life and still love it. All throughout High School I took classes like Photoshop, Lightroom, and Indesign so that I could be on the yearbook photography team. My junior and senior year is when I became part of not only that team and class but also the journalism class as well. Ever since then I have loved photography. I started with the Grizzlies as an in-house photographer intern and now am a proud member of #TeamSinBin.

I am an award-winning student journalist from Wichita, KS who accidentally discovered this field of work. I am one of the most diehard sports fans out there, with my foot in just about everything. In my areas of work so far, I’ve had the privilege to cover and photograph soccer, football, basketball, hockey and many more. Hockey has always had a special place for me, going to Thunder games since I was young. When it comes to NHL hockey, I live and breathe the orange and black of the Philadelphia Flyers. When I’m not at the rink, I am a student at a community college near Wichita studying to be a sports journalist/photographer.

Raised to bleed Garnet and Gold, Mike’s first passion will always be Florida State football. Though he does enjoy watching just about any sporting event if given the opportunity.

His interest in hockey grew when the team he occasionally followed (Quebec Nordiques) moved to Denver and raised the Cup in their first season. His love of hockey continued when his FSU-based fan size was rebranded in 2010 to become “Free Sports Press” and expand their sports coverage which included the Rapid City Rush (in their 2nd year of existence).

Witnessing them raise the Presidents’ Cup that season was an experience he’ll never forget and his wife have both enjoyed covering the Rush ever since.

Massachusetts born and raised, but I didn’t attend my first hockey game until 2011. It was the Providence Bruins v Monarchs. I’ll admit, I wasn’t immediately interested in the sport.
That changed one year later when we suddenly had to move, and after a lot of searching for houses, we wound up in Manchester! My son and I had nothing to do one night, so I said, let’s go check out a Monarchs game (it was Mullets in Movember night). Well, we were hooked instantly! This is our fifth year as Season Ticket Holders.

I have always loved taking pictures, mainly of people and the outdoors. One night I decided to bring my camera to a Monarchs game, and I happened to get some good shots. I now am always seen with my camera at the game, from warmups right to the announcement of the Three Stars of the Game. I’m always trying for the next best picture.

When I’m not at hockey or taking pictures, I am a travel agent and love working with people to plan their amazing getaways.

My journey in hockey began in 1972 when my parents took me to a Pittsburgh Penguins game in the Igloo (Civic Arena) when I was four years old. The journey continued and indeed became a critical mass twenty years later when I attended the opening night of the Tulsa Oilers at the Tulsa Convention Center. I have not missed an opening night since then, which is a record spanning nearly a quarter century. When not covering the Oilers I cover other sports as a contributing writer and sports editor at Tulsa Today, a news website.

Sarah PietrowskiPhotographer (Reading Royals)

I grew up outside of Reading, PA where I regularly attended Reading Phillies games. In high school, a friend invited me to a Reading Royals game and that game got me hooked on hockey. The next season I had season tickets and started to also go to as many away games as I could. That season I realized that some goalies had artwork on their helmets so I started to bring a camera to all hockey games I went to and would stand at the glass during warmups to get the goalie helmets. Eventually, it turned into me taking photos from my seat and finally going to college for photography.

I have my BFA in Photography. I have been a photographer with the Reading Royals since 2012-13 when I was their photography intern. I still take photographs of all goalie helmets every game and I am extremely offended by white/blank goalie helmets. I enjoy traveling to new arenas and I am currently trying to get to all 31 NHL arenas, I have been to 13 so far.

Grew up in Columbus, Ohio and was a fan of the Columbus Chill. My first hockey game was a Johnstown Jets game as a toddler, so I blame my love for the physical side of the game from that experience as a young boy.

I moved to Charleston in 1995 and have been a Stingrays fan ever since. I am a season ticket holder and sit on the Board of Directors for the booster association.

When the Army does not have me occupied doing my full time job, I am a self-confessed stats geek and will spend way too much time playing with numbers from several hockey sites.
