… i grew up in minnesota … didn’t play much hockey then … have grown to love the sport lately, though … wish i could play it more … back then, i was a north stars fan … 1991 was pretty exciting when mike modano took the cinderella team to the stanley cup playoffs.

… but then the north stars moved to dallas … man, that sucked … and of course, the ‘stars’ won a cup … good for modano, though … one of the greatest u.s.-grown hockey players ever.

… anyway, after moving to colorado, i became an avs fan as soon as they moved to colorado (sorry quebec … but you already had the canadiens) … cool they won the cup that year and another one in 2001 … what a team … it’ll probably be a long time till they have a team like that again … cool to still see hedjuk on the team today … they have some promising players … love the logo and jerseys.
