I am Craig Layne, owner and operator here at FireTheCannon.com. I am located in Southern Ohio (right across the river from West Virginia). I never was a big sports fan, until the day I saw my first hockey game (The Huntington Blizzards), I have been a fan of the sport ever since. As an Ohioan, I feel obligated, and privileged to support the home team, The Columbus Blue Jackets. Feel free to get in touch with me: Craig@FireTheCannon.com or @FireTheCannon on Twitter.
