A new hockey season is nearly upon us, and thus it is time for this ritual. We want to know about everyone who's here for the new season, after all, and it's nifty if folks who've been around can also introduce themselves to the new folk. So shall it be done!
Please note - the "interview template" has seen much abuse and revision over the years. Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to refresh it, as follows:
Name: Nickname: Age: Age you act: Sex: Where you live: Where you were born: Where you used to live: Nationality: Height: Weight: Mode of Transportation: Distinguishing Physical Characteristic (like if we saw you in the Rbar, how we'd know it was you): Job:
How you became a Jackets fan: How much of a Jacket-Whacket Job are you: How you found HFBoards and why you keep posting here: Favorite Jackets player: Favorite non-Jackets player(s): Other NHL Team(s) You are Willing to Root For: Fav teams in other sports: Most Obsessive/Strangest Blue Jacket paraphernalia (souvenir) you own: Section you usually sit in: Rituals or superstitions you observe when watching or attending a game:

POST ABOUT YOURSELF. You know you want to.

Thanks, Howson, for cleaning up MacLean's toxic waste. Welcome, Kekalainen; let's get good things built!
Height: Don't really know my height in feet, in Sweden we meassure the height in meters, and I'm around 1,8 meters
Google actually has a handy unit conversion feature built in that I use all the time. A search for "1.8 meters in feet" suggests that you're about 5'9".
Can't remember if I've done one of these before. Oh well. New season...why not update.

Hope to fulfill these dreams post-college. I have another weird hope for my future...that I find and hopefully marry a girl that is down for going to the R-Bar before/after games and is as obsessed with the CBJ as I am. Weird, I know. I love everything about the city. Currently, I work in Television (sucks, don't ever get into it) and am pursuing a BS at Miami in Kinesiology & Health. Nice to "meet" everyone! Go Jackets!
