What got you into hockey?


Dead

Recommended Posts

I got into hockey in my sophomore year in college around 1981 or 82. I went to 2 Rags games vs the Failures and the Kings. My family and relatives all hated hockey and kept the game away from me. My family were typical baseball and basketball fans. After those 2 games, I was so pissed at all my relatives who kept hockey away from me. At that time, I was the only one into hockey in my family. I made sure my son was and is a big hockey fan. Anyway, I was not going to be a Rags or Failure fan cuz they don't need me to be a fan and at that time I was an Isle fan just to be different and rebellious. I got into the Devs during their first playoff run in 1988 and I got pumped at how it upset Failure and Rag fans

Awesome for you. Protecting our shores. Stay safe out there.

You parents must be very, very proud.

Thanks, I appreciate it... best decision I ever made!

I miss Jersey often, but that just makes it even sweeter when I get the chance to come back and hit some Devils games.
