Justin Halbersma
Born in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia and now based near Ottawa, Ontario, Justin has been involved with hockey for over 15 years. He has written for local newspapers from 1994-2009. He brings a combination of passion and humor to his articles that frame his love of hockey. His style includes opinion pieces and historical fact. He finds game reviews "boring on their own" and aims to bring each piece to life in its own way. He currently owns www.openingfaceoff.net, and is looking forward to contributing regularly to www.penslabyrinth.com.
