Robert Belardi

Robert Belardi grew up being Malcolm In the Middle. Both sides of his family each, with passionate love-affairs. One in support of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the other, for the Montreal Canadiens. He grew up watching both teams. One of his best memories, was meeting Curtis Joseph, his favourite goaltender to ever play. He signed, a young seven-year-olds jersey and the sweater was never washed since; dirty and all. But the tides of his passion swiftly moved to the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge. The Canadiens became his favourite NHL team. And since, he's loved hockey like all of his other sports he loves. But now, he has the fortune, to write about it.
