About

Life-long hockey fanatic and die hard fan of the Detroit Red Wings. I grew up in Michigan watching guys like Steve Yzerman, Paul Coffey, Keith Primeau, Dino Ciccarelli, Mike Vernon, and Nick Lidstrom. Later on, I moved to Ohio where I was instantly hated for being a Michigan fan, but I now love the Michigan/Ohio State rivalry as if it were part of my family. Also living in Ohio has given me the chance to become a part-time Columbus Blue Jackets fan when I'm not rooting for the Wings. Above all I love hockey.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Steve Yzerman, Brendan Shanahan, Peyton Manning

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Detroit Red Wings, Michigan Wolverines, Cleveland Cavaliers

  • All Time Sports Moment

    May 31, 2002. Game 7 Western Conference Finals. Wings vs. Avalanche. Patrick Roy gives up 2 goals on Detroit's first 2 shots en route to the Wings pounding in 6 on ol' Roy, who was then pulled from the game. A sweet ending to Roy's career and a highlight for the Wings/Avs rivalry

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    April 10th, 2003. Game 1 Conference Quarterfinals. Wings vs. Mighty Ducks. A 1-1 tie goes long into the wee hours of the morning. Late in the 3rd overtime Paul Kariya delivers the knockout and give the Ducks the W. In his playoff debut, JS Giggy made a monstrous, 63 saves. Even as a wings fan I can say this was the MOST exciting and heart-racing game i've ever been to.

    Hey, I just edited your Columbus BlueJackets article, but note that the spacing and font size is a little off. I'm going to keep on working on fixing it. Sometimes when copying from Word and pasting it in the BR writing format will cause some problems.

    Good article, by the way!

    Hi Kyle, Thank you for reading and commenting on my article. It's rare to hear from a Columbus fan. Let's hope this year is the year that things turn around for the franchise. Don't be fooled by the sell outs. Apparently the team is offering some sweetheart deals to get fans in. But maybe if they make the playoffs, it will finally solidify the franchise.

    It's not surprising that hockey is failing in some of the southern markets, but I am surprised that hockey is not more popular in the Ohio-Indiana area which is in the north. Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis are all failed WHA franchises and Cleveland had the most horrible attendance when the NHL tried there. The Blue Jackets must have been glad when you moved into the area.
