Russell Vannozzi

Russell is a contributing writer for Nashville Hockey Now. By day, he's the audience development manager for Main Street Media of Tennessee, where he previously served as high school sports editor and won multiple awards from the Tennessee Sports Writers Association. Russell grew up playing roller hockey in Hendersonville and eventually transitioned to the ice – though he quickly realized he was better off writing about his own teammates for the local newspaper than he was skating, shooting or handling the puck.
