Hello all!
I just found the forum and am excited to be part of it.
I found hockey "late", after I had graduated high school and moved to Ohio. I started watching the Penquins on local TV and would occasionally drive into Pittsburgh to wait outside the Igloo for "student sales" to start after the puck had dropped. I started playing inter-murals in college and I fell in love with the game; not only as a team sport but the feel, the smell, the sheer joy of being on the ice. Soon, I was playing in every adult bar league and pick up game I could find.
I am back skating after a 15+ year hiatus and slowly putting together my first set of hockey kit that has not been "gently used".
Although, for a pair of retro tan leather 4 rolls I could care less!
I am a Penguins fan but also follow the San Jose Sharks, Norfolk Admirals and the Philadelphia Flyers (believe it or not).
Currently serving in the US Navy.
