Name: Gary
Residence: Fountain Hills (Near Scottsdale for you guys in Moscow) so I see a lot of training camps.

Profession: Insurance and financial services- near the Ice Den.

Other interests: pole vaulting just to keep up with my daughters-I have a torn labrum in my shoulder which will be repaired the end of this year. Learning to pole vault is on hold until this hockey injury is repaired. The other shoulder was done 3 years ago for the same injury in a different game.

Grew up in Michigan watching high school hockey, Red Wings, and Hockey night in Canada. Been in Phoenix since 1988.

Jim - EYE

41 going on 22

Near the 49th

Golden Gophers, WHA Jets (Bobby Hull fan), Red Wings in the early 70's and Oilers in the 80's when Gretzky made me a believer and now the Coyotes. Looking at all your ages explains why I get in so many debates with you optimistic types! lol

Jets Fan since they joined the WHA. Saw all their Avco cup wins. Also remember seeing the 1972 Canada Russia series game 4 at the Winnipeg Arena. I was 11 at the time. As for age you do the math. I follow the Yotes thanks to NHL centre ice and watch at least 75 games a year. Been to Phoenix once in the first season to watch them play. Jim McKenzie had a hat trick and they beat the Kings 5-1. I hope to get there this year to see some games and the new rink.

USA - Xavier, PhoPhan, GoC, rbrooks, Greg, Dan, Yotes03, Hordichuk, Sinurgy and many more
Canada - hbk, Dancing Chicken

Now we just need a Swede and a Slovak to complete the collection.

Another canuck here!

Just to add to the international flavour of the board I have lived in Japan and my family is Danish!

Name: Shawn LaRoche
Location: Near Sedona, Arizona.
Been a Coyotes fan since I moved to Arizona. Luckily the same year the Jets moved to Phoenix. Originally lived in Boston and New England area my entire life. Spent a short time in Canada too. Most of my Dad's side of the family lived there. I plan on going back sometime eventually. I'll be going for a visit a week from today. :banana:

Name: Vincent
Age: 28
As my dodgy use of the english language probably shows, I am french. I moved to England a few years ago and I live near London.
The reason why I am a Coyotes fan is not very fancy unfortunately: I am a huge sports fan but due to poor coverage in France I never realised how great was Ice Hockey. When I finally got it, I literraly plunged into the whole thing. This was in 1996.
The Jets had just becomed the Coyotes for a new start. So I decided to start my hockey addiction alongside the franchise.

Germany - Howling Coyote and is it coyotechris?


I live in Eastern Canada, but I was born and raised in Germany. As a matter of fact I didn't come to Canada until I was 24 years old. I was posted to Shilo, Manitoba (about 200 km from Winnipeg) while serving in the German Armed Forces. Over a four year period we made many 400 km round trips to the 'Peg to see the Jets play at the Winnipeg Arena. Aah, the good ol' days: Essensa, Housley, Carlyle, Domi, King, Numminen, Olausson, Selanne, Steen, Tkachuk, Zhamnov, ... Dancin' Gabe :gman:

That's when I got the hockey bug. Coming from West Germany, I didn't know how exciting this game could be. Raised on soccer (Hamburger Sport Verein - the only remaining team that's only played in the Bundesliga - niemals 2. Liga!!!), I never thought much of 'ice hockey' as they call it. On the larger ice surface and a lot less physical, it seemed rather boring.

I went back to Germany to further my education when the Jets left for the desert. I adopted a 'jets4ever' attitude and stayed with the franchise in spirit. In 1999 I moved back to Canada. Here on the East coast I can watch all the Sens games I never wanted to endure. In order to follow the Dogs, I have to shell out for the center ice pack.

Dancin' Gabe rules! :bow:

PS: LT - I hear that Villeneuve might get a ride with Williams-BMW next season. Who knows, he might be back... BTW, BAR is doing great this year - with Sato and Button for a combined fraction of what the team paid JV last seasaon...

Thoughts? :dunno:

Name: Kevin

Age: 27

Home: NE Phoenix

Location: Right now: San Diego, in a week: somewhere in the Western Pacific

Occupation: US Navy Fire Controlman

Hockey fan: Always wanted to get into it, but growing up in Phoenix, I didn't get much exposure. (I know we had the Roadrunners, but they got little exposure). Anyway, I learned most of the rules of hockey from a video game just before the Yotes moved from Winnepeg. Flipping through the channels one day, I saw a game on and watched the Yotes come from a 2 goal deficit to win the game. I was hooked. I've been a die hard fan ever since. I spend lots of time spreading the hockey gospel, trying to get as many people as possible into the sport.

Other sports: I wasn't aware that there were other sports :dunno:

Name: Jeff
Age: 19
Location: Winnipeg
Fan since: 1992

Interesting story on how I became a fan of hockey:
When I was about 8 years old, I found four hockey cards on my dresser. Didn't know what they were or how they got there, but they looked cool. I soon found out more about hockey through reading magazines and newspapers, and my dad started taking me to games. Been hooked ever since.

Funny thing is, I still remember those four hockey cards. Brett Hull (USA), Paul Coffey (Canada), Zigmund Palffy (Slovakia), Teemu Selanne (Finland). 91-92 Upper deck. I still have them too :)
