Tim Etherington is a 5' 10", 170 pund left winger. Blessed by good first step acceleration and excellent lateral movement, he effortlessly negotiates his way through the most tangled of syntax. After spending five seasons in the T.O. Literary Leagues, he returned two years ago to Peterborough - the cradle of junior hockey and uppity bohemians. Now a full-fledged Oldtimer, Tim must adapt his writing style to the contingencies of career, family and sll sorts of other middle-class trappings. While he may have lost some of this trademark provocation, Tim can still surprise with a timely turn of phrase or profane, gamebreaking outburst.
