LET’S GO HAWKS! I’m from Finland, and completely and utterly addicted to hockey. It started with the Finnish league, and now I am a diehard Hawks fan. The problem is location location location – I live in Denmark, so I have to stay up quite late to watch the games; besides hockey isn’t exactly popular in Denmark… I might need to consider relocation!

Hi!
Thank you so much, you don’t know how much I appreciate that! Do you have any idea if there is a government agency I can contact in Denmark that would have a record of when he came over? I can find out when he landed here, as I know that would help. Also, may I ask how you became a Hawks fan? I have a lot of respect for fans of Original 6 teams. Thank you again, take care!

Hi!
Thanks for stopping by! A Hawks fan – cool! What are your thoughts on gaining Scotty Bowman?? As for mine on Flips… I’m glad he signed, but ya know… I was getting inpatient. I also don’t know at what expense to some others (McCarty, Chelios) signing him might be… From a totally NON-emotional standpoint, my only thought is HE BETTER PRODUCE for that moola!

Hello!
Greetings! I do enjoy the many benefits of NHL Connect, one of them being the opportunity to meet and correspond with fans in other parts of the world. I was particularly interested in establishing a Hockey friendship with you because my Great-Grandfather on my Dad’s side is from Denmark. At this time of my life I’m interested in learning more about the country you currently call home, and, am looking forward to a chance to travel there one day and try to establish where my Great-Grandfather lived. (hey, if I have any relatives there, that would be great too) So, I look forward to the Hockey chat, especially as we inch closer to the next season. Your Hawks are poised to be a team to contend with in the Western Conference. Cheers!
