I have been playing the Irish sport of hurling since I was 6 years old and it is my mission to grow this sport in the USA and Canada. Since moving to North America 10 years ago, I've set up a hurling club in Los Angeles, host beginners hurling sessions, operate an ecommerce store for hurling equipment, and produce YouTube videos promoting the expansion of hurling in the USA and Canada. Contact me if you are reporting on the hurling community in North America.
With a large boom of Irish immigrants in Los Angeles during the 1980s came a wave of Gaelic football clubs popping up across Southern California.
