Description:
Originally from Montreal, I’ve been living in New York since ‘89. I bought (or my father bought for me) my first hockey cards in 1967. The first NHL game I attended was at the Montreal Forum during the 1970-71 season. I saw the Canadiens defeat either the Red Wings or Chicago, either 4 to 1 or 4 to 0 (I don’t remember exactly). I am pretty sure about one thing: Mickey Redmond scored a hat trick for Montreal. Although, as you would expect, I started out as a Canadiens fan, I converted to the Flyers on January 11, 1976, when I saw them take on and defeat the Soviet Red Army team. I work in Lower Manhattan for the government. What’s cool about working for the government is that if you screw up your work (as I often do) they cannot fire you.
Favorite NHL Team:
Philadelphia Flyers
Favorite Sports/Teams:
Hockey/Philadelphia Flyers – I also really like to watch women’s beach volleyball. I only recently found out that it is a real, distinct sport recognized by the Olympic Committee. What a cool sport that is!

LOL
but aren’t all clubs meat markets?! Yeah, i’m not sure if they are still open but it was a corner building, 3 levels. Basically, it was an apartment building turned into a club. All 3 floors played 3 types of music, hip hop, techno and rock. It was cool. I love Stockholm. I was in the Vasa Museum for hours.
