Brian Kennedy
Brian Kennedy, PhD, teach es literature and writing classes at Pasadena City College. A transplanted Canadian, he has found his true voice writing about hockey. His stories appear in two recent books, Growing Up Hockey and Living the Hockey Dream. The former tells the story of a third-line right winger's journey from worshipping the Montreal Canadiens as a kid to covering the NHL.  The latter uses Kennedy's voice to profile people from around the hockey world, both superstars and those who exist on the fringes of the game. Hull, Dionne, Gretzky, and others appear alongside minor-leaguers, broadcasters living out their hockey dreams, and others for whom hockey dreams have come true in ironic ways.
