I missed hockey growing up. It wasn’t until I moved to PA and met this pretty lass that convinced me that she was the one that I found hockey. Local friend was best man and he took me to a Flyers game in 1976. We were sitting behind the opposition goalie. I did not know what hockey was being raised in the south. Most awesome game! Reggie Leach put a shot between the goalies out side pad and the goal post. Looked to be about 5 inches wide. The place went nuts and I was hooked.
I have not missed a Flyers game in some form of media or other since 1976. Last year was tough but our GM, Holmgren, did a fantastic job in free agency and last night we kicked the stinkin’ Senators to enter a tie for first place. tomorrow night we have the stinkin’ Devils. Big game,Can’t wait. Gotta get those stinkin’ Rangers, too. ROFL and ducking
LOL! I can’t trade him, even if I wanted to!
And I don’t!
Thanks for posting. Everytime I’m up in the Cities, I try to remember to find Garage-Logic on the AM dial.
You can also listen online, as many of us Twin Citians do.
I grew up skating on the frozen ponds and creeks in Mizzurah. Dad took me to the St. Louis Stars games to watch Noel Picard and the boys. Then the Blues came to town and hockey was the talk of the town.
Bobby Orr was my hero and I painted the #4 on the outside heel of the skates like many of the players did. First pair of skates were Bauer Black Panthers mom bought me for $40.
I'm originally from NC. I used to play in Cary and in Charlotte when I lived there. Played in the State Games in Fayetteville a couple of times. That was a trip. We played a team of Airborne dudes one year in the finals and they were gooning it up the whole time. We beat them and won the Gold.
I reside in SC now and play in Greenville when I'm home but I've been down here on an assignment for the past year and was quite happy to find a rink just 15 miles away.
