Description:
I’m Damien, I’m a graduate of Communications/Public Relations at UUJ, I’m 22 and I live in Ireland. Hockey is virtually non existent here, it’s probably as popular as playing in heavy traffic or Sean Avery (maybe not THAT unpopular!). If other people could look past soccer, Gaelic football and rugby they would see that hockey is by far the coolest game on earth. I got into hockey through my cousins in Toronto and since discovering the beautiful game many years ago I instantly became a Leafs fan and have stuck by them since, through the good times (not many) and the bad. I’m moving to Toronto in August 08 so anyone in that neck of the woods feel free to drop me a line, I’d appreciate it. Hopefully when I arrive I can watch the Buds when and wherever I please, maybe even get to a game or two (not likely) or even work with them (even more unlikely). Like so many others, I live in hope and long for the day when Lord Stanley makes his way back to his rightful home…...it’s been too long! GO LEAFS GO!

Hey Damien
Thanks for the add! Looks like you’re going to be moving over to my timezone pretty soon! How excited are you?? I think that’s really awesome! I been to Toronto in April and loved it. You’re going to go from a town where hockey is almost non-existent to a city you can’t walk a couple feet without seeing a Maple Leaf logo! Enjoy
