Thanks (meant for both you & MB in the post above yours).
I thought about checking this out & finally went for it.
I've checked a few theme threads & it seems interesting as all teams are represented. The off-season trade reactions should be good as we see the other team's fan take on it.
thats what I like about this place, its not as homer-centric as cf.com

When/How did you start following the Flames?
1996. I was 9 years old and idolized a teenaged Jarome Iginla who led the world juniors in scoring that year, helping Canada take home the gold.
Favourite Flame? Contradictory to my statement above, I currently have no favorite Flames player. All are expendable in my eyes, as long as it gets the team closer to Lord Stanley.

I've been posting here a couple of days, and thought I'd introduce myself.
My name's William, I grew up in Calgary and live in Victoria. I pride myself on watching every Flames game on hideous streams, whether or not I can see the puck.

When/How did you start following the Flames?
The 2010 olympics got me into hockey and then I watched the Heritage Classic where the Flames won 4-0 and that had me hooked. My dad also lived in Calgary and was a flames fan which influenced me as well. I was really a passive fan though until the 2011-2012 season. Yes, I am a newbie.
Favourite Flame?
Jarome Iginla for obvious reasons (all-time). Right now it would have to be Brodie.
Favourite Flame Prospect?
Baertschi, Jankowski right after.
How long have you been on HF Boards?
Just under a year.
Name: Jason Location: Montreal, QC Hometown: Thunder Bay, ON; lived in Calgary for 5 years Age: 32 When/How did you start following the Flames?
Being from Ontario, and force-fed Leafs hockey from a young age, I gravitated towards the Flames during the '04 run (when they served as "Canada's team"); happened to move out west the following year and was lucky enough to catch them play a bunch during my time there, including Theo's preseason comeback (when he nearly blew the roof off the 'Dome scoring that shootout winner) and the Heritage Classic with my son Favourite Flame?
Iginla all-time, though I was always a fan of Eric Nystrom's game; GlenX, Backstrom, and McGratz Favourite Flame Prospect?
Sven Baertschi, and whoever they pick this year (Monahan/Lindholm, Shinkaruk/Pulock, Rychel??) How long have you been on HF Boards?
I've followed HF for a couple years now (has ALWAYS been my absolute best source for any hockey-related info) but haven't posted much until recently.. With three 1sts in a deep draft, guys like Brodie and Baertschi showing promise, and the surprise success of some of their goaltending prospects, the Flames' offseason (and the offseason in general) shaping up to be one of the more interesting ones in history. This is the time of year I always look forward to.. I'm totally the type of guy who'd sim the season in GM mode to work the draft lol
Name: Blair Location: Calgary Hometown: Bethlehem Pennsylvania Age: 19 When/How did you start following the Flames?: The 04 Run. The atmosphere here in Calgary was awesome.

Name: Cody Location: Victoria, enemy territory. ( Hey Hudlinator, wflames ) Hometown: Calgary, Alberta Age: 19 When/how did you start to following the Flames? I don't really remember, probably late 90's, probably 1998/2000. No idea really. However, being born in Calgary, it was an easy choice to be a fan of the Flames. Flames fan forever! Favourite Flame: Jarome Iginla (All-time) Now: Sven Baertschi Favourite Prospect: Baertschi and whoever we pick in the draft at 6 this year. How long have you been on HFboards? I've been on here since 2010 but lurked a bit before that.
