Dear Reader:
Welcome to TheHatTrickHerald.com!
Who I am:
My name is Alex Valle. I obtained my Juris Doctor with a Business Law emphasis in 2020 from Chapman University Dale E. Fowler School of Law in Orange, California, where I served as an Articles Editor on Chapman Law Review. Formerly, I contributed to DucksNPucks (which is now a member of the Puck Network). I’ve been a hockey fan since 2005 and I spend every day of my life following the game I love.
Although I’ve been on hiatus for a bit studying for the California Bar Exam, my passion in life is hockey (collectively: the game, the business, and the law behind it), and I try to showcase that passion in every article I write.
What I do:
I started TheHatTrickHerald.com in January 2018 as part of my mission to provide quality hockey discussion articles to hockey fans everywhere.
Hockey News and Discussions Content
This section provides thought provoking hockey discussions and quality analyses on trades, contracts, draft selections, and hypotheses surrounding this great sport! My goal is to be the most objective hockey site on the internet. No biases, no clickbait, no ads, no subscriptions, no illusory promises. What you see is what you read.
Sports and the Law Content
On October 12, 2018, I began offering discussions regarding legal/arbitration/Collective Bargaining Agreement issues in hockey ! These subjects draw from my own research and my background as a sports law student.
Nothing in this section should be construed as providing legal advice to any person or entity.
