I am still trying to find out how my son, who was born and lived his entire life in GA, where there are maybe 3 places in a 200 mile radius that even have ICE, where we just recently even GOT a hockey team, has been a hockey fan since he was a little kid.
When he was around 8, he saved all his money and bought a Mario Lemieux Penguins jersey and didn't fit into it until he was around 15, lol!
