Austin Kelly
Austin Kelly has wanted to be a sportswriter for almost all his life. From reading hockey-related news since childhood, Austin knew his goal was to create the same hockey content he loved.
A straightforward writer, Austin focuses on bringing a professional unbiased touch to every story, putting facts first over fanhood in giving readers the objective truth of the matter when needed.
A journalism student of Centennial College in Toronto, Austin is trained in writing with poise and with a professional tone but with a passion for authentic storytelling.
Away from writing on the Leafs, Austin also has a large focus on the NHL Draft and hockey prospects, working as a scout in analyzing and identifying the league's players of tomorrow. His work on prospects have appeared in other outlets such as DobberProspects, Recruit Scouting, & Fansided.
With HockeyPatrol, Austin focuses on the Leafs from a variety of different areas, providing knowledge from the main team to the farm system to the prospect pool and beyond.
