New York Rangers baby!!!!

My father and cousins were huge Rangers fans as I was brought into hockey when I was little. My father brought me to a Rangers/Islanders game when I was 7 years old I believe and ever since then I BLEED BLUE! I am now 27 years old and a die hard Ranger fan! How about you?

Live in Ottawa and as I started getting interested in hockey the Sens were one of the top teams in the NHL. For the record they could of been last I still would of picked them as my team.

Been an Avelanche fan since they moved to Colorado because I have family there. I've liked the Ducks since expansion because they're the home team.

Detroit Red Wings. Grew up and still live about 20 minutes from Detroit and I've been to quite a few games. Almost everybody here in the Detroit area watches the Red Wings.

Vancouver Canucks I lived 6 years in Vancouver, and it is also the first city I lived in Canada. I live in Toronto now, but I just can't bring myself to like Leafs.... ever.

Toronto Maple Leafs. I was born just outside Toronto, all games are on T.V, so it was easy to start watching them. Plus, a lot of my family were fans.

The Pittsburgh Penguins, because when I got into hockey I picked a team and started rooting for them. I chose the Pens because I like penguins.

San Jose Sharks. I randomly watched the '99 Finals on a whim, and I started to follow the Sharks the following season because I live in the Bay Area. Soon enough I fell in love with the sport and the team. I wish I started following hockey much earlier lol.

They were in the playoffs in the early 2000s and i discovered how exciting hockey can be. The LAPD line, winning in OT beating the Red Wings n such.

Not NHL, but I am a big Seattle Thunderbirds fan (WHL). Became a fan when my friend dragged me to a game I had no interest in seeing. I was hooked.

Pittsburgh Penguins. I didn't start watching until the 06 season (through a combination of not having cable for a while and my ignorant belief that hockey was a sport for slow white guys). I heard about this Crosby kid and this new Russian guy so I wnted to see what all the buzz was about. I started watching them more and more on tv and I was hooked. We we eliminated by the senators that year but we've had plenty of success since. Jordan Staal is my favorite player.

I've lived in Washington DC most of my life, so it was easy to pick up the Capitals, and Nationals, as favourite teams - I've been following the Caps since before they went to the Stanley Cup and got their heads handed to them in four straight games. I was lucky enough to score season tickets last year and don't plan on ever letting those go, though they aren't cheap and aren't always easy to turnaround. I'm always hopeful that this will be the year we win it all!
