Hi, I'm originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba. I've been in Chicago since '93 and have loved some of the Chicago sports teams since before I moved here. Back in Winnipeg, I loved the Toronto Jays (though I hated every other Toronto team), but I also loved the Cubs because we used to get WGN. When we moved to Chicago in 1993, I was already a Cub fan but I was not a Hawk fan.
My favorite NHL teams were the Jets and the Habs. When the Jets moved to Phoenix, I hated them and I will never be a fan untill they move back. Hence I needed a new home team (Hawks), even though they sucked during those years.
You may call me a bandwagon jumper, but the fact that I became a Hawks fan in '96 should tell you something. I've been a fan ever since.
When some Winnipeg kids were drafted and started playing well, I became even more of a fan (Toews and Keith).
I still love the Habs and I love the Hawks. I hope they don't meet in the finals
