I gained some interest when Gretzky was playing, but didn't follow anything but Gretzky.

Then in Jr. High and High School, about the only hockey you could watch was the Red Wings......

I didn't start watching it regularly until about 4 years ago when I started going to UK hockey games.

And with Nashville being the closest team, and being on FSN South, I guess that's why I'm a Preds fan.


*Plus they have the cool Sabre Tooth Tiger head that comes down to the ice and they skate out of it when they're introduced.

As a true Colorado Avalanche fan, I hate anything and everything to do with the Detroit Red Wings! Although it seems as though their rivalry has cooled off some in recent years, I remember back in the late 90's and early 00's when those two teams absolutely hated each other. Tons of penalties, lots of fights, the works! It was a rivalry that was made even better since they were regularly two of the top teams in the league, and when they met in the playoffs, the winner usually went on to the Stanley Cup finals.

As for UK hockey, going to one of their games is enough to make anyone a hockey fan! However, I also used to go to the Thoroghblades' games a few years ago, and they weren't nearly as much fun to see...
