NHL Writer. Analyst. Storyteller.
Christopher Hodgson is a sports writer with five years of experience covering the NHL, specializing in in-depth analysis, team breakdowns, and with an emphasis on storytelling.
Based in Ontario, Christopher is the founder and lead writer at TheBigFaceoff.com, where he has published over 1,000 articles on the Toronto Maple Leafs and the broader hockey world. His work spans deep-dive team analysis, trade breakdowns, and long-form features covering all 32 NHL franchises. His work has been published on Thehockeynews, Thehockeywriters, Last word on hockey and Sports Mockery.
A lifelong student of history, philosophy, and psychology, Christopher draws on those disciplines to find angles other writers miss — the power dynamics behind front office decisions, the psychology of pressure in a Game 7, the historical patterns that predict how a rebuild plays out.
