The Fan Base
Monday June 30, 2008 @ 12:55 AM EDT
Fans make up the game of hockey right? True fact. Are they all real fans? False.
When going to a game you will see all types of fans!
Crazy fans,creepy fans etc,etc.
When at a stadium,carry this helpful blog guide!
Knowing the fans!
True Fans
A true fan means never turning your back on your team!
Take some Kings fans for example,Kings are a bad team,with some talent,and did very poor this past season,some fans just stuck it out,and cheered on their team no matter what.
You stick through good times and bad times.
There is also attatchment.
You feel lonely when your team is not around.
When summer comes,you are bluer than the blue line,is there life after hockey?
At game,you cheer your lungs out.
Clap constantly,yell at the opposing team that they just plain suck.
Your voice gets hoarse after the 1st puck drops at the 1st period.
24/7.
Is how true fans,no matter what,stay with your team.
True fans are like tatoos,they are permanent,and you’ll always have your team,and they’ll always have you.
Wannna see a true fan?:
Macksayev
Plain and simple.
True fans truely bleed their teams colors.
I know I do!
And no,cheering for the Sharks isnt a bad thing!
Bandwagoner Fan
A bandwagoner is a fan that cheers for a team like Paris Hilton is up-to-date to the latest fashion.
Its trendy,everyone’s into it,its popular,and blah blah blah.
Its funny when people start ’’becoming a fan of a team’’ when they are:
1. They are winning
2. They are popular
3. Its the ’’IN’’ thing
4. Because it looks cool
5. Because they are the biggest name
However,many bandwagoners,are influeneced by society,the media,newspaper,and blah blah blah.
Say for instance,you’re sitting next to a guy at a game wearing a hat of your fav team,the first thing you’d probably ask is,how long have you been a fan ?
They would say either, a friend got me into it,or I’m a fan because my friends are.
Another thing to know when you know someone’s a bandwagoner,asking them questions about a player.
I asked a Wings fan once what he thought of Chris Osgood,and his response: Who’s he?
People please,if you must try to be a bandwagoner,try being good at trying to be one!
Its way to obvious that they are clueless.
Clueless Fan
The clueless fan at a hockey game looks very confused,and starts asking people next to him or her saying,who is the home team? When they have the home teams’ name is everywhere.
Almost like a dumb blonde.
The dumb ones only!
Or something else like,whats icing?
Or they ask,where’s the basket?
The dugout?
The game isnt too complex,seriously,it isnt!
The Seat Waster Fan
When I watch my beloved Sharks play hockey on TV on FSN Bay Area,either in play-offs or a game I couldnt get tickets too,I watch it on the set.
Whats the 1st thing I see?
Is it the fat latino with a Sharks jersey?
Is a kid with a mohawk in teal?
Nope,its a seat waster!
A seat waster fan,is some moron who takes up a seat at the arena that could’ve been yours but isnt because her stupid boyfriend is dumb enough to bring her to a game!
I’ve seen countless times on TV where a blonde has a tight shirt,high-heels, and the fakest tan that reminds you of George Hamilton.
They are either:
1. Filing their nails
2. Texting
3. Staring into space
4. Rolling their eyes constantly looking at the time
5. Are just bored
Its obvious that a screen test should be taken for tghose who are fans,that they should be a limit of only2 games that a non-fan should go to a game,for the first time fans and the dummys!
Doesnt matter what there hair-color is! Or gender,if they took up your spot,they took up your spot!
Crazy-Obsessed Fan
The crazy obsessed fan is also a fan who may go over-board at a hockey game.
Face paint,the guys going shirtless cheering at the top of their lungs for their team.
They are loud crazy pucks!
Crazy fans can also be in the catergory of true fans,as long as they who they are cheering for and why!
Also,having fog horns and various materials also helps.
Also,at certain times,they have a dart board of the opposing team.
Crazy fans.
Beware of the Crazy Fan!
The Quiet Fan
The Quiet Fan is just plain quiet.
they are all decked out in the teams attire,but show no emotion.
When their team scores a goal,they may clap,or say yay.
They say pretty much nothing.they just come in,sit,stare at the ice and just do,well,nothing.
So if you ask a quiet fan if they do anything,they’ll simply tell you,they dont do anything!
Intense Fan
The intense fan is just so caught up in the heat of the game,regardless o f who he or she may be cheering for.
they just sit there in suspense like a Grade B horror movie.
Then when all is done,they take out there sweat rag and say,whew!
At home,the intense fan will pace back-and-forth in family room with the game full blast.
Finally,when all is aid and done,the fan rejoices.
The Dedicated Fan
Primarily a dedicated fan is also in the True Fan’s category.
They are season-ticket holders.
As long as the season-ticket holder doesnt buy the tickets for the heck of it,or turns around sells for double the price,then you are a moron.
Season-Ticket Holders are becoming a IN thing for the fans who just want to see their team at a given cost.
It takles time,dedication,and winning a small lottery to do so. (Hey,these things can be pricey!)
They come to a game,have a blast and go home.
The Insanely Dedicated Fan
These fans also go under the catergory of True Fans.
Wh?
They get inked!
No fooling!
If you can afford it,and there’s a guy named Bubba who owns a tattoo parlor,getting your teams logo inked on you.
They always have their team spirit every where they go!
The Exuburant Fan
The Exuburant Fan falls under the catergory of the insane fan,screaming like a bunch of teenage girls wanting to kiss Brad Pitt.
Anyways,they scream,scream some more to a point it irriates you!
Yes,you,the guy with the earplugs.
After the game is over,you can can be at peace,but the game is over,then you become mad,instead of irritated.
The Studious Fan
-
Constatntly taking notes and having a scorecard or board with them.
How to find these fans are a rare species.
They may be seen carrying a pocket protector or may have Napoleon Dynamite Glasses.
They may also have high-tech gadgets.
Its okay to be seen in public with these fans
They are accurant!
The Arrogant Fan
This fan has their nose so high up in the air that a low-flying aircraft could snip their noses right off.
Some Detroit fans maybe(cough,cough)
Not to bring them out of course,every team has one of those.
they get mad when they’re team looses and are never really happy.
They cheer for the winners,not the looser.
Talking blah blah blah my team this and that gets annoying after awhile,trust me!
Keep your trap shut! haha!
Mad fan
The Mad Fan is a fan that is peeved when another fan disses his team,so what does he do?
he gets mad,then gets even!
Thr fight starts with words,then spilling their beer,and men,when it comes to beer,to them,its like a girl with a diamond ring getting broken,they just wont have it!
then,starts a brawl!
2 mad fans,equal the fact that they both get kicked out of the arena.
Next time,do not sit next to the enemy.
The Paper Bag Fan
The Paper Bag Fan is a fan who just embarassed by his teams play!
Take the famous guy with a paper bag over his head!
Of course the Leafs have nothing to do it,but its obvious that having not won a Cup in decades,the fans are a bit embarassed!
So,if you a guy with a paper bag over his head,buy him a corn dog.
The Patient Fan
The Patient Fan eagerly awaits when his or her team wins a Cup.
especially if you have been a fan of your favorite team forver!
That helps too!
Once again,has nothing to do with being a Leafs fan.
The fans await and await.
Keep BeLeafin’ Leaf fans!
Sore Fans
In life,they are winners and loosers.
Winners dont shut-up about loosing and the looser never stops moping!
Stop yapping you two!
So what have we learned today?
1. Keep waiting till your team wins a Cup!
2. Dont start a fight with a opposing team
3. If your team stinks,admit it!
4. Have money for a corn dog
5. Be a fan always till the end
6. Hockey loves you
7. Show team spirit always!
8. Dont sit next to a clueless moron at a game
9. If you must get a tatoo of your team,get a stick-on tatto for those who are afraid of needles
10. Um, well gee,I dunno.
Oh wait!
Hockey rules!
Until next time!
Thanks for reading!

I've met...
...every single type of fan you’ve described here. I’m a Leafs fan behind enemy lines in Ottawa, who still bleeds blue and white. Senators fans can be pretty awful… They’re mean-spirited, and always have an excuse for everything. Most Philly fans are terrible too… I’ve met several, and they’re just mean!
I jumped on the Pens’ bandwagon in April, mostly because they were playing Ottawa, but also because I was [and still am] a huge fan of Roberts, Sid, Geno, Marian-for-rent, and countless others… I ended up coming to know their players as my own, and thus was saddened by all the horrid news in free-agency… Oh, well, 3 months til the new season starts!

you are a blog genious
I’m gonna start sippin slurpees because this is one of the best from you I’ve ever read! Last season, we had these season ticket holders next to us, and they were DEFINITLY the quiet fan. it sucked, because when the Sharks score, I like tos tand up, and high five and dance, and scream, and this guy just sat there and clapped a little bit. You made me literally laugh out loud with some of the things you had to say! it was so funny! hopefully hockey news comes back to you. it was SUCH a good article!! It is 100% true true true. hahahahahahha!!! I’d have to catagorize myself under dedicated and true. =) I just can’t get enough of this blog. its just crazy awesome =)

Great blog . . . as per usual!
You just can’t leave Connect! Nobody else comes up with this stuff – it was great. I really liked point #3: admit when your team stinks. Boy, is that a regular event for me. I’m not too loud, but YOU KNOW I bleed red hot (i.e., true fan), just like you. Also intense, but had to let go of it when my team sucked for soooo long. Poor Leafs and Blackhawks fans are in a special die-hard category, aren’t they. You were right, I did love this blog! Hopefully THN will love it, too.

I fall under the “true” and “intense” categories! Red Sox and Penguins fans fall under the “bandwagon” category!
