Former editor of Ducks Daily Blog/Pucks of a Feather. Current Ducks blogger at http://www.battleofcali.com I'm known to a lot of you as Jer. I've been a Ducks fan since 1993 and I was in attendance at Anaheim's very first home game. I'm the former editor of the now defunct HockeyPunx.com website, and am an occasional contributor to the UpThePucks.com blog and regular guest on their podcast.
