Welcome to the Top of the D: A specialist hockey blog.

I have played hockey for a long time, almost half my life. I have, for the duration of that time been disappointed with the lack of coverage the sport receives. Now, with the likes of Push, Talk Hockey Radio, and of course the wonderful A View From the East things are better than they’ve ever been, but still there is room for improvement. So, from the writer of the legendary Boner’s Brain comes the Top of the D.

The Top of the D will focus on hockey in this country and abroad as much as possible. I will try to bring you a mixture of interviews, features and analysis. Whether you are a seasoned hockey player, a fan or completely new to the sport there will be something for you.

So, enjoy the articles, leave some feedback on the comments section, follow us on Twitter @TheTopoftheD, or email rossjwbone@gmail.com.
