I've never written about my first few months of working for the Sabres in 1986, but it seems appropriate today. https://t.co/O92Y1Z0K9D @buffsportspage
What is Neutral Zone?
Neutral Zone is an independent scouting service powered by a staff of 50+ professional scouts - including former NCAA D1 & D3 coaches, NCAA players, NHL players, AHL/ECHL/European pros, and current WHL, OHL, QMJHL, and USHL scouts.
Our evaluations aren’t opinions in isolation. They’re live, in-person reports that form the scouting baseline inside #RinkNet, the scouting platform trusted by 3,500+ decision-makers across junior, college, and pro hockey.
Players aren’t just ranked. They’re tracked over multiple seasons, with every report connected to their full evaluation history.
This is how real scouting works. This is #NeutralZone.
Excited to share that I've earned a Bronze Telly Award in the Craft-Voice Acting & Narration category for my work on the 2025 AHL Playoff Hype video.
A video that is still being played in AHL arenas across the league, I'm honored to have that work recognized on this stage. A huge thank you to the AHL for having me be part of the video, and my gratitude to everyone who has supported me along the way. 🎙️🏆
