Alex has been playing fantasy for over 20 years, but it wasn't until about eight years ago that he was introduced to true Dynasty formats with massive pro and farm rosters that the hobby became an obsession. Rebuilding teams is Alex's favourite 'game within a game', and he likes to take over a neglected team, sell off its veterans, and build up the store cupboard to lead the team to future, consistent glory. Due to this, Alex grew his affinity for learning the tools available to him to help find undervalued or undiscovered players, namely prospects that haven't become a household name yet. As a writer, Alex's main focus is to take the graphs and analytical data that may initially feel too complicated for the average fantasy hockey manager to enjoy reading and apply themselves. His articles always aim to focus on the depth of data available to us as die-hard fantasy managers, and aim to provide the needed context, and make it more digestible to everyone.
