re: Southern Hockey Fans

I love hockey, but I am in the tiniest of minorities in that opinion. I don't watch the NHL very often though because I have no stake in it (i.e. no one to root for) My oldest brother played in a youth ice hockey league when he was a teenager. My brothers and I played NHL 96 on our SEGA Genesis and played roller-hockey in the driveway. I've never seen an NHL game in person, but I hope to go someday. I loved going to Baton Rouge Kingfish games as a kid, and if I ever end up living in Lafayette, I'd probably get season tickets to the Louisiana Icegators.
