Kathy K
czechtacular (aka Kathy) is the former follower of a single team, whose interests still are and will always be number one in her book (she does write at All HABS, after all!) but making the jump to junior hockey in 2005 has resulted in, well, quite frankly, a mess that no one will ever be able to understand all at once. A former student of photography, history and communications, she has been to games of the NHL, AHL, QMJHL, CIS, LHJAAAQ, LNAH, and even the NWHL, and definitely doesn't intend on stopping there.

Dan Kramer
Dan was raised with a love for the Habs since his grandfather was a close friend of Jean Beliveau, Henri Richard, and others of that era. But he only became a diehard in his own right during the 1993 Stanley Cup run. If it is a fact regarding the Canadiens between then and now, he probably knows it. Dan loves to read or watch anything and everything about his team, and started a blog to share his knowledge, a mission he hopes to continue in joining the All Habs team. Outside of hockey, he is a Toronto (via Montreal) marketing and business professional who recently completed an MBA from McGill University.

Joce
Habsterix is a fictional character created for the sole purpose of the internet. Based on the cartoon Asterix of Gaule, his magic potion is his passion for the Montreal Canadiens. How old is he? His close friends will tell you that he’s so old, his back goes out more than he does! He was born when Béliveau lifted the Cup and remembers the days when seeing the Habs winning was not a wish, it was an expectation. For him, writing is a hobby, not a profession. Having moved to beautiful British Columbia in 1992, he started writing mostly in French to keep up his grammar, until non-bilingual BC friends pushed him into starting his own English Blog. His wife will say that he can be stubborn, but she will be the first to recognise that he has great sense of humour. He is always happy to share with you readers his point of views on different topics, and while it is expected that people won’t always agree, respect of opinions and of others is his mission statement.

He's a writer with a great physical package who needs to work on his grammar and concision if he's going to cut it at this level, but he'll be working on that as a staff writer for Allhabs.net..."

Pablo
Pablo was born in Venezuela. He went to college to “learn” how to make journalism and soon started working as a reporter for a sport newspaper covering soccer. That was really cool because it let him travel A LOT all over South America. Then, he moved to Montreal and rapidly discovered two of his biggest passions: photography and the Habs. Now he’s doing everything possible to combine both and try to make a living out of it, which will be awesome too. He loves his wife, his family, his Canon 7D and his guitar. His nickname, PabloJinko, combines his first name and the name of his reggae/ska band back home: Jinko Biloba (youtube it now!)

Erica
Long story short: After two decades of not really understanding it, Erica (aka Rookie) gave in to one of the best things about being a Montrealer: the Canadiens. She'd been a rabid TV fan for years before, which explains why she might on occasion compare hockey to TV. Hockey fans and TV fans are from two different worlds. It's an interesting line to walk, but Rookie's trying to give you the best of both worlds.

Sara A
Sara didn’t grow up in a hockey family. She has no nice stories about how she spent her childhood winters watching Hockey Night in Canada with her dad. What really happened is that one day, she decided to watch one hockey game by herself (just to see what the fuss was all about) and that was all it took. Love at first sight. A couple of years later, her passion is stronger than ever. She is currently studying communications at Université de Montréal, hoping to make it in the hockey media business one day. Artistic, expressive and meticulous, she would like to become a reporter or a video editor. When she is not watching, talking or writing about hockey, she likes to listen to music, watch one of her too many favourite tv shows and hangs out with her friends.
