Team Sin Bin

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.

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.

Upstate New Yorker. Lifelong Adirondack hockey fan (Red Wings-AHL, IceHawks-UHL, Frostbite-UHL, Phantoms-AHL, Flames-AHL, Thunder-ECHL). You can find me in Section M at the Cool Insuring Arena during most Adirondack Thunder home games.

My three passions: Writing, photography, and hockey.

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.

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.

Growing up in South Dakota, Jackson has been watching hockey since attending a Rapid City Rush game during their inaugural season with his Uncle Dave. He has not gone a Rush season without attending at least one game in Rapid City, no matter how far away he has lived.

His love for the sport of hockey grew more when he started working in it. He would intern with the NAHL’s Aberdeen Wings and Austin Bruins in college, before going on to work in the front offices for the USHL’s Youngstown Phantoms, WSHL’s Casper Coyotes, and the Austin Bruins. Although he now works in baseball, he still likes to keep tabs on the junior hockey world.

In his spare time, he enjoys watching baseball, reading, and keeping up on the world of minor league sports business.

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.

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.

Born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada Paige’s passion for hockey was ignited during the Calgary’s 2004 Stanley Cup playoff run.

Growing up a Flames fan, she followed their affiliation to Kansas City, as she attends the University of Saint Mary in nearby Leavenworth.

She studied Digital Mass Communications at Iowa Central Community College before transferring to USM in Fall of 2017 where she continues Communications studies.

Paige also represents the Spires on the Softball field where she is a pitcher in her Senior year.  Between her time on the diamond and homework, she can be found at the rink doing comprehensive coverage of Kansas City Mavericks Hockey.

I was born and raised in Orange County, CA by a hockey loving family. I moved to Boise to work towards my Marketing degree at Boise State University. During my time at Boise State, I had the opportunity to be a Media Relations Intern for the Idaho Steelheads, where my passion for sports media, specifically Hockey, revealed itself. I served as an Intern for the remainder of my undergraduate career. I graduated from Boise State with my Marketing degree in May 2019. I am continuing my education at Arkansas State University where I am working towards my Masters in Sports Administration at their online campus. I am excited to be continuing my passion for sports media by covering the Steelheads for the 2019-20 season!

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.

I’m a journalism student at the University of Maine covering the ECHL Maine Mariners. When did I fall in love with hockey? After watching the UMaine Blackbears defeat Boston University 6-0.

Ted Warren is a credentialed Media Member with the Norfolk Admirals of the ECHL. This season marks Warren’s first in the ECHL and fourth covering the Admirals. Prior to joining The Sin Bin, Ted spent three seasons with Thehockeywriters.com covering the Admirals . The 27-year-old will be bringing you features on players, coaches and everything Norfolk Admirals.

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.
