I’ve been an enthusiastic hockey fan for many years. I never played on any organized team and I never really watched as a kid growing up in Connecticut. I think it was when I was about 16 that I started watching and really found myself being drawn to the Detroit Red Wings. At that point, I was living in Indiana which isn’t exactly known for being hockey-centric. I have no ties to the city of Detroit; the Red Wings just sort of became my team for reasons no one’s really sure of.
