Patrick Hopf

Patrick Hopf

Patrick is one of the founder's of Citeeze and for a guy who skates like a five year old, he is an avid fan of hockey and the Habs. Upon pondering a fond childhood memory of being taken to the old Forum and shaking the hand of the great Jean Beliveau, this armchair quarterback was galvanized into blogging action. A labour of love, Patrick likes to analyze and think out loud on how best to guide Les Glorieux to the Stanley Cup - once again.
