OT: Professional Hockey Writers Association Reveals Chapter Members

[nyr2k2]

The PHWA, the guys that vote on many of the big awards (Hart, Norris, Conn Smythe, Lady Byng, etc.), revealed a list of the members of each Chapter of their organization. It's nothing earth shattering, but it's interesting to see who comprises the Rangers chapter:

Chapter Chair
Larry Brooks, NY Post, 1976

Members
Rick Carpiniello, Journal-News, 1978
Andrew Gross, Bergen Record, 2001
Steve Zipay, Newsday, 2003

The Chapter Chair is an elected position. Brooks might piss us off, but he's respected by his peers. Interesting list--I don't know half of those names.

Brooks has been around a long time with the NYPOST. The NYDN had Frank Brown and then John Dellapina for extended periods but Brooks has outlasted all of them. The Devils announcer Sherry Ross also wrote for the NYDN. I forget who Newsday had before Steve Zipay. Larry Brooks might be respected by his peers but don't ask Espo for a recommendation!

Yeah what happened to Dellapina? I liked him.

He has some fancy title with the NHL. Director of Media Relations maybe?

He was my faves.
