After seeing limited action for the Chicago Blackhawks for two years, Dominik Hasek spent nine years playing for the Buffalo Sabres where he became what many consider to be the best NHL goaltender to ever strap on the pads. He played four of the next eight seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, winning two Stanley Cups in the process. What he’s not remembered for is his stint with the Ottawa Senators, despite posting pretty decent numbers in his one season there. He finished seventh in Vezina Trophy voting that year after posting a .925 save percentage and 2.09 goals against average.

Ryan Tofil's experience on The Western Journal goes back to 2014 when he was an intern for the non-profit Western Center for Journalism. In 2015, he became the director of Liftable.com, and soon its sister website ThoughtfulWomen.org. These websites eventually combined and became one of the most popular lifestyle websites in the world, at one point being ranked inside the top 200 websites in America by Alexa.com. Liftable.com lives on today as a section of The Western Journal. Since 2018, Ryan has been involved with PatriotDepot.com, the exclusive provider of The Western Journal merchandise and other essential patriotic products, moving to the site full-time in early 2019.

Outside of work, Ryan loves to play chess, sports, and video games; usually while smoking a cigar. He is a proud bird-owner and aquarium aficionado, and always jokes about needing concealed carry permits for his fists, despite only having been in one fight in his life and losing quite badly. His claim to fame is having possibly been the worst NCAA baseball player in the country, riding the bench for a DIII team that went 3-31. He loved every second of it.
