This month, in Beckett Hockey #210, my fourth article for Beckett media has been published. Entitled A Force to Be Reckoned With, it details the history of fighting in hockey, and fighting's general exclusion from trading cards. 
Printed on pages 6,7 and 8, I am pleased to say that this article is in color. My past three articles were in black and white--I'm moving up in the world! I also penned two sidebars that support the main piece: Five for Fighting notes five hockey cards that actually did show fighting, while Goon Squad talks about some of hockey's most famous enforcers, past and present.
All I can say is "wow!" A few months back, I was jazzed just to have an article published in Beckett. That was awesome in itself. But this--a full-color, 2,000-plus word, feature story--definitely trumps all.
If anyone buys--or borrows--an issue and reads my article, please give me some feedback. I am always striving to improve my writing, both for Beckett and for Puck Junk.

As always, love reading your articles, either here or in Beckett. For some reason, I've loved the fighting aspect from the get go. I never really identified with the skill players.(might have something to do with my skill level). Very entertaining. Keep up the good work.
Nice! I am definitely getting a Beckett this weekend. Congratulations!
