Fans Of Steel - Tom Walkeden

Recently, we announced our line-up for the 2014/15 season, welcoming new writers into the fold.

Well, how better to get to know them than for them to take part in the Fans of Steel feature?

In this edition, we welcome our tame livetweeter and reporter, our version of a serious journalist, Tom Walkeden.



Name: Thomas Walkeden
Age: 24
Twitter Handle: @TomWalkeden
Hometown: Scunthorpe
Usual Seat: 218 Row H Seat 1 (Rock The Block)
NHL Team: Anaheim Ducks

First Started Watching The Steelers: 1991

All Time Favourite Player: Tommy Plommer
Current Squad Favourite Player: I've got a feeling its going to be Mathieu Roy or Mike Forney
All Time Steelers Starting Six: Lehman, Sarich, O'Connor, Plommer, Meyer, Legue
One Player You Would Sign, Money No Object: Hampus Lindholm (kid is going to be an awesome D man)

Best Game Attended: I'm going to say last seasons game v Giants at the Arena when we were 4-1 down and drew 4-4 and won on penalty shots.
Worst Game Attended: last seasons challege cup semi v Panthers at the NIC the teams performance was just pathetic to put into words.

One Change You Would Make To The On-Ice Product: Powerplay need to stop passing as much and make the keeper eat some rubber
One Change To The Off Ice Product: Older cheerleaders ;)

Who Will Win The Silverware This Year?: This a tricky one but with the signing of Roy especially, Steelers title chances have gone up! I'm going to go title - Steelers, erhardrt - steelers/panthers, gardiner - braehead, challenge - steelers/blaze/giants, playoffs - steelers/panthers/blaze
