Thought I’d try and get some traction here.
Jets fan because I started watching them when they came back into the league and loved their vibe. Before that liked Pittsburgh and San Jose cos I was 6 when I saw them on tv at my hockey loving cousins house.
Soft spot for Seattle, Minnesota, Isles and Boston (minus Marchand).
I am a Habs fan. I was born in Montreal.
Home town team, I am the same with my local hockey team in Scotland! Habs a bit under though, Fife Flyers were created in 1938 and still in the same barn!
Canes. Originally from Wisconsin and without a hockey team the sport never appealed to us. Moved to Raleigh when the team was mediocre so tickets were cheap. Got season tickets and made friends based on the sport and team.
Question, do Canes ever play the brass bonanza song in honour of the old Whalers?
I like how they totally embraced the jerks thing, turned an insult into something positive.
So every year they do have a Whalers night with throwback jerseys. On those nights they do Brass Bonanza as the goal song.
I love it! In the UK we did the playoffs over one weekend down in London in the 90’s and that was the goal sound, unlocks some core memories right there.
Born in late 80s in the Ottawa Valley. Liked Montreal because my brother did. Liked Roy because my brother did. Liked Avs because Roy did. When that was over, I stopped watching hockey for a few years going through life changes. When I came back, I picked Ottawa because I was born there. Got to see the good years, before the current iterations. I’ve got a cool history of being both the fan of a cup winning team, and one that hasn’t (modern era).
New Jersey Devils
Guess where I live
Always loved the red and green jerseys. In the UK we have Cardiff Devils with the same colour scheme, really good team (by our standards).
Hmmmmmmm…hell?
Anaheim Ducks. They’re my closest team and I like Ducks.
MIGHTY Ducks. Yes I’m an 80s/90s kid.
I started watching hockey in '88 when I moved to Calgary and started going to Flames games with my Dad. Awesome to have your home team be champions when you first follow a sport. But then we moved Texas a year or two after MN moved the North Stars to Dallas, and that wasn’t cool, so I kept rooting for the Flames. But it wasn’t easy to keep up with hockey in Texas at that time, so I kinda fell out of following the sport. Then when I started looking back at it around 97/98, I really wanted to move to Colorado and the Avs were really hot, and they were also a Rocky Mountains team like the Flames, so they were my two teams. Then I moved to Minnesota just in time for the inaugural season of the Minnesota Wild. So I had my home team and my Rocky Mountain teams. I’ve been back in Texas for about 20 years now and decided maybe 2/3 years ago that it’s ok to not be angry and the Stars for leaving MN anymore, so now I have Dallas, MN, Colorado, and Calgary as my teams.
Why didn’t you love to Cleveland in 2016? We won the calder cup! Coulda been a Monsters fan!
How have not blocked hockey yet…most of the teams are blocked already
