Thought it would be fun to post why we love hockey, the blues and share some of our hockey lives. Feel free to post about your most memorable hockey moments or when and why you got into hockey or the blues.
I have to say I always was a hockey fan, born and raised in a house of hockey fans. My parents were born in Niagara Falls, Ont. Canada they grew up watching and playing hockey, had friends that made it to the minors and NHL like Frank Pietrangelo my parents went to school with him....related to a blue I do believe so lol. On my Dads side of the family his uncle played hockey Don O'Donoghue, played in the NHL for the California Seals and the WHL for the Blazers. My Dad was Quebec Nordiques fan and my Mom was Habs fan, needless to say that made for some fun household fun. I grew up a Toronto fan and Nordiques fan, guys like Sakic, Sundin, Clark, and Gilmore hung up on the walls of my room along with my favorite goalies Roy, Hasek, Cujo, ect.
My dad joined the US military before I was born became a US citizen and a soldier. Which led us to Colorado around the time the Nordiques moved to Denver. I was a full blown Avalanche fan watching my former Nordiques and a favorite goalie of mine win the cup and blow up the west for a few years. I moved to California for a bit then home to Missouri( I was born in Missouri just didnt stick around very long for me to remember). I always watched the blues as with other teams, I think I really became a fan in 2001 watching the blues play my team at the time the avs, Now I know the Avs beat the blues and they won the cup, but I got hooked on the blues a really started watching games and havn't quit since and I am proud to say I am a blues fan. Still love the Leafs(lol I know) and I am a fan of Boston as well. But I only have one love in the west and its blues all the way and my moms Brother-in-laws nephew Mike Glumac played for the Blues 05-06 so I got family ties lol.
Sorry if that was alot to read lol,
