If you are just starting out as a hockey blogger like me this is an instructive/humourous post over at Barry Melrose Rocks. Make sure you read the comments as well.
I am a life long fan of the Calgary Flames. From that 5-5 tie with the Nordique to the day I die. Since that first game in 1980 I have never wavered in my support for my hometown team. Upon leaving for University I have lived in many places. Some hockey hotbeds like Chicago (at least while I lived there), Edmonton, Prague, Goteburg and Montreal. And some less so like Pamplona, Spain. I now live in the Senator-fan infested home of Daniel Briere, Gatineau Quebec and I look forward to commenting on the fortunes of my favourite team and sport.
