eredenbach@hotmail.comEmily grew up a rink rat on the coast of Australia, where roller hockey was the closest thing to the NHL she got. She escaped to sunny California where she quickly became infamous for her love of shoes. When she isn't reading or dreaming of a life where a TARDIS appears at her door, she's watching the LA Kings.

Jim Ellis is a writer, producer, author and speaker who focuses on topics of import to him: liberty, love, LA Kings, and lava cake ... not necessarily in that order. Whether you believe him or not, he was at the “Miracle on Manchester” 1982 game when the Kings came back from five goals down against the Oilers to win 6-5 in OT. Ask his family.
