Hockey has never been a casual thing for me. First saw it in a Pizza Hut after a Little League baseball game, and I’ve loved it ever since. That happened to be the Toronto series in 1993. Didn’t understand the game at the time, but I imagine it’s like meeting the right woman. You just know it.
One of the more appealing things to me is probably the fact that it isn’t wildly popular. It’s something that me and a select few can talk about and enjoy, that few people have the luxury of appreciating.
When I mention to someone, for the first time, that I’m a hockey fanatic, I get one of two responses.
