Managing Editor / ECHL Editor
I have been a hockey fan since the age of eight and thoroughly enjoyed watching games in the old Kansas Coliseum.
There was nothing like the sound of a packed house of rabid Thunder fans. When I am not at a rink, I can be found behind the mic for KFDI News, where I have won several Kansas Association of Broadcasters awards. I fully embrace the grind and a full believer that you get what you give.

Chief Technology Officer
Living just south of the Quad Cities on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River, I became a hockey fan back in 1995 at …
… the age of 15. The inaugural season of the Quad City Mallards turned me into a fan after going to just the second game of the team’s existence and I instantly became hooked on the great sport of hockey. I’ve been a hardcore fan since that day, and had it not been for the team’s startup, I may have never been a fan of the sport. I live and die with the orange and black of the Broad Street Bullies and the Philadelphia Flyers as my favorite NHL team. When away from Field Pass Hockey, I am a computer nerd who enjoys building and repairing computers. I also help my younger brother create independent films for his Motive Direct Pictures along with building and maintaining websites with my Mayhem Web Design “company”.

Associate AHL Editor
Deanna is a hockey obsessed goalie who was raised in the shadow of the Houston, Texas skyline.
Her first coach, her dad, instilled in her the fierce passion for hockey that she has carried with her since she could hold her first stick. He taught her the game from his lap in the family room and from behind the bench where she honed her technical knowledge of both the sport and shouting about clearing the defensive zone. The first team Deanna ever loved was the Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League after she was born into a family with season tickets. When it came time to fall in love with a team of her own choosing, Deanna was swept off her feet by the Montreal Canadiens and their captain at the time, Saku Koivu. Deanna is happily married to her husband of five years. Together with their two wonderful dogs, Freckles and Youppi!, they currently live in Colorado Springs, Colorado where they attend as many Colorado College hockey games as possible.

SPHL Editor
A native of South Georgia, I became hooked on hockey in 1996 when a group of us went to see the Tallahassee …
… Tiger Sharks. Ironically, that team’s starting goalie, Mark Richards, was the GM when pro hockey made its return to Macon under the Mayhem banner. While in school at The University of Georgia (Go, Ice Dawgs), one of my favorite things being able to easily attend multiple Thrashers games. Needless to say, one of the saddest times of my life was the selling of the team by the Atlanta Spirit Group. I’ve lived in Macon since 2006 (Yes, home of the Whoopee) and have covered the Mayhem since the very first exhibition game. My interests outside of hockey include Georgia football, purveying BBQ, and spending time with our three-year-old daughter, Annie.

Writer (Allen Americans)
I was born in South Dakota but raised in the Minneapolis suburb of Bloomington, Minnesota.
I was never much of a hockey player as basketball was my winter sport of choice. I became a huge hockey fan when I attended the University of Minnesota in the late 1960’s early 1970’s. I was a season ticket holder during the Herb Brooks years when he won NCAA championships in 1974,1976, & 1979 before he coached the Miracle on Ice Team in 1980. I was also a big Minnesota North Stars fan when they arrived in Minnesota for the 1967-1968 season. Other than the time I spend following the Allen Americans, I enjoy hunting and fishing whether it is walleye fishing in Canada and Minnesota, Pheasant hunting in North Dakota, Bass fishing on the creeks of the Flint Hills in Kansas, fishing private ponds, dove hunting or turkey hunting in Texas.

I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and was a fan of the Columbus Chill long before the Blue Jackets even existed.
… My first hockey game was a Johnstown Jets game as a toddler, so I blame my love for the physical side of the game from that experience as a young boy. I moved to the Charleston area in 1995 and have been a Stingrays fan ever since. I am a season ticket holder and was formerly on the Board of Directors for the booster association. When the Army does not have me occupied doing my full time job, I am a self-confessed stats geek and will spend way too much time playing with numbers from several hockey sites. I currently live in North Charleston with my wife and daughter.

Amanda Spielberger
Photographer (Texas Stars)
Texas born and raised, currently a Stars fan, but grew up a Red Wings fan. How does a Texan …
… become a Detroit Red Wings fan? Simple, my dad was from Grand Rapids, MI and he raised me as a Wings fan. I’ll never forget attending my first playoff game, because it was at The Joe, and it went to triple overtime! It was Game 2 of the 2009 Western Conference Finals, Red Wings vs. Ducks. From that point on, I was hooked on going to games, and once we got home to Dallas, we started to go to more Stars games, especially when the Red Wings were in town. Through the years, I’ve gone from a casual fan of the sport, to basically hockey obsessed. My love for photography started on a family vacation where I stole my mom’s point and shoot camera to start photographing mostly nature. It escalated into my mom getting me my first DSLR one Christmas. In 2014, my mom won tickets to the Mike Modano retirement game, and I decided that I was going to take my camera, and see what I could do. In Dallas, fans can stand on the glass for warm-ups, and this was my first time doing that, and boy oh boy, I fell in love. I didn’t have social media at the time (just a blog for my photos), but I posted some of the photos I had taken, and they somehow made their way to Twitter/Instagram, and someone informed me that a Stars player had used one of my photos. I was like, wow, people like my photos that much? My photos are really that good? (Questions I still ask myself to this day.) Since then I fell even further in love with hockey and hockey photography, as well as the Dallas Stars & Texas Stars.

I was born and raised in Macon, Georgia. Being from the south, hockey did not always sound appealing.
I have been hooked ever since I overcame my hesitation and watched the Macon Whoopee play. A few years later I was able to see the Macon Trax play for a championship against the rival Columbus Cottonmouths. Unfortunately, that was the last time there would be a hockey team in Macon for 10 years. In 2015, the Macon Mayhem were announced and I was ecstatic. During the second year of the Mayhem, I started taking photos at the game for fun and posting them on my Instagram. The Mayhem liked the work I had done and asked me to be an official photographer for the 17-18 season. I am constantly upgrading my equipment and abilities as I start my photography career. I am proud to be part of #TeamSinBin.

Photographer (Norfolk Admirals)
I’m originally from South New Jersey and grew up with the epic Jersey-Philly-NYC battles. I went to my first …
… NHL game during the “Broad Street Bully” days. I still love my Devils. I joined the U.S. Navy in 1986 and became a rabid Washington Capitals fan while stationed close to D.C., ultimately becoming a Caps Season Ticket Holder for several years. Upon retiring from the Navy in 2009 and setting permanent roots in the Hampton Roads area, it was just natural I became a Norfolk Admirals Season Ticket Holder. My love of obscure esoteric photography subjects and styles led me to seek permission from the Admirals to volunteer to shoot pictures for fun (how that all became, is an entirely different funny story) as Ice Hockey is the hardest thing ever to photograph. From there, things just expanded. When not glued in front of the TV watching Caps games, NHL Center Ice, CBC HNIC or at an Admirals game working, I can be found playing with my ham radios (call sign W4CPO), helping out with regional Feline TNR programs, working on my house and vegetable garden, fabricating lies to get out of marital trouble or out riding my Harley Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Limited. As Jerry Garcia used to sing – “Nothing left to do but smile. smile, smile”

Along with working with Colorado Hockey Hub, JJ is a former member of the Mile High Sports magazine, where he covered the DU Pioneers, Colorado Eagles, Denver Outlaws and Colorado Avalanche, where he earned his first credential to cover the Avalanche from the press box. After hearing a lot of good things about the Sin Bin News, I am happy to have the opportunity to grow here as a photographer. When I am not shooting hockey games, I am either hiking the gorgeous trails in Colorado, going for random bike rides with my family, playing hockey, or working on freelance writing projects. As a dual citizen of Germany and the United States, JJ’s ultimate dream is to shoot a game for the Eisbaren Berlin in Germany one day.

Photographer (Hartford Wolf Pack)
Malay didn’t start watching hockey until he started college at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and began…
…attending the D1 men’s hockey games there. Not long after, he became a season ticket holder (and an avid hockey fan in general), and went to almost every home game until his graduation in 2017. He began shooting photos of the RPI hockey team in 2015, and has been unable to shake the sports photography bug since then. While living in Maine in 2018 for his full-time engineering job, Malay was able to shoot home games of the Maine Mariners’ (ECHL) inaugural season in Portland. Since moving to Connecticut, he has continued to develop his sports photography skills by shooting hockey at Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL) games and soccer at Hartford Athletic (USHL) matches. While he doesn’t yet have a favorite hockey team, he enjoys watching just about any hockey game and even pretends he can play a little bit himself (he’s definitely not expecting phone calls from a scout any time soon). When he’s not shooting sports, Malay also enjoys traveling and wildlife photography; he has ventured to remote islands in the Atlantic Ocean to find puffins, and to the forests of Costa Rica for caimans & toucans.

I spent a lot of my childhood watching the Hershey Bears play in ‘The Old Barn’. Anybody who lived through …

While games at the barn may be a thing of the past, the energy and excitement of the arena still remain. Over time, my love for this atmosphere and the beautiful game collided with my career as a photographer/videographer. From that point on, I knew I could never go to another hockey game without a camera. If I’m not at a Hershey Bears game, I’m probably working (aren’t we all?) as a Multimedia Coordinator at Penn State University, attending a Penn State hockey game, taking my camera on a hike to photograph waterfalls or spending time with my kids.

Photographer (Reading Royals)
I grew up outside of Reading, PA where I regularly attended Reading Phillies games. In high school, a friend …

That season I realized that some goalies had artwork on their helmets so I started to bring a camera to all hockey games I went to and would stand at the glass during warmups to get the goalie helmets. Eventually, it turned into me taking photos from my seat and finally going to college for photography. I have my BFA in Photography. I have been a photographer with the Reading Royals since 2012-13 when I was their photography intern. I still take photographs of all goalie helmets every game and I am extremely offended by white/blank goalie helmets. I enjoy traveling to new arenas and I am currently trying to get to all 31 NHL arenas, I have been to 13 so far.
