Why Djurgården over other Stockholm teams?
Welcome!
Well, I don't have a specific reason, it has always been Djurgården for me. It could just as easy have been AIK or Hammarby.

Welcome!
That makes sense, I know what you are talking about, I have had this for few teams I support as wellWell, I don't have a specific reason, it has always been Djurgården for me. It could just as easy have been AIK or Hammarby.

Mode of Transportation: 07 Saturn Ion
Job: Epic Analyst for Wake Forest, Brewer and Events for Gizmo Brew Works
What brought you to HF Boards: Information on the top prospects for the upcoming draft (back in 01) and a lack of general knowledge on the Canes official board at the time.
How you became a hockey fan: Kindof born into it
How you became a Canes fan: Was a fan of both the Whalers and Penguins when I lived in the north, never living all that close to either team. I moved down here in the winter of 96, the following fall the Canes would move down here and it didn't take much for them to become my team. I no longer follow the Penguins like I used to, too many things happened while and since I've been out of college. Between the Orpik incident (and the reaction by their fanbase to it) and the lack of any players that I really like on their team anymore I just don't care now.
Favorite thing about being a Canes fan: Tailgating in the parking lot before playoff games. That's just an atmosphere you won't find anywhere else in the league.

The sport has ruined me on nearly all other spectator sports. Seriously, I find it impossible to even watch my former favorite love (basketball)...it's unbearably slow and has too many stoppages to keep my attention.
Figure it's about time I updated this stuff
Just curious Dave if you don't me asking and you sharing. How come you moved down to the South? Work, family, love something(s) about it, anti-homesickness (If that's even a word lol)? Asking because it just seems from my experience no one (Minus a friend that is from NC, left for Canada and then back) really goes to the South from the north or Canada.
EDIT: There are drawbacks though. Summer's are pretty brutal down here. It's virtually impossible to consistently grow a good lawn down here. There are venomous snakes and poisonous spiders down here. There seems to be a lot fewer checks and balances on development down here (which is good and bad). The traffic continues to get worse and worse. Etc....
Where I live in NC is consistently at the top of the list for top retirement communities in the US. So many old people here.
I wish you whippersnappers would quit talking about me...

Job: writer of words in a proper and logical order
What brought you to HF Boards: really just wanted a place to be a fan, very challenging to follow a sport when you no longer live in the city where your favourite team is
How you became a hockey fan: listening to chuck kaiton while delivering gumby dammits and pokey stix
How you became a Canes fan: the canes began to exist. before that i only really knew of hockey from sportscenter highlight reels
Favorite thing about being a Canes fan: having a group of people with which to laugh and drink heavily about bad trade proposals. but real talk, having an outlet to keep learning about the game tbh
Favorite Cane's Player(s): Aho, Slavin, excited about Kruger actually
Favorite NON Cane's Player(s): Subban, though c'mon McDavid is ridic
Favorite Player(s) of All Time: probably Datsyuk, but pre-noggin'd Eric Lindros was my first and best image of a hockey Superhero
Other Sports You Like: really just feel crummy about following college sports anymore, so I don't. I follow NBA kind of half-assed, MLB kind of half-assed, but follow 1 specific NFL team pretty closely these days
Other Sports Teams You Cheer For: raised as Yankees fan but that became kind of pointless when they ballooned with FAs after the late 90s WS titles. follow hornets/panthers for sure. kind of follow the MLB as a whole though.
College Attended/Attending: too many degrees from NC State
Video Game Systems Owned: Mac / PS4
Favorite Game(s): Mass Effect, Katamari, Civ5, Europa Universalis, Portal, really enjoying The Witness rn
Music You Listen To: guess I'll answer these for real now. I had a radio show at NCSU for awhile from 2-4am couple times a week. I chose that slot because it meant I could play whatever the hell I wanted, and I did. at that time I played really strange and disturbing music from all sorts of genres, with the goal of having a crazy radio show and giving sleeping people nightmares, blowing the minds of stoned-out-of-their-minds freshmen, and aggravating the hell out of stuffy locals who didn't appreciate strange music. I've since developed a pret-ty stupendous music collection in digital and meatspace formats. these days I listen to mid-20th century gospel, blues, r&b, music from every single corner of the world that I can find, lots of new orleans stuff, some hip hop, bluegrass, probably every little subgenre except for sequined-countrypop and that green day/sum 41/kind of california punk pop blecch. I did a road trip around the US listening to only local radio so "classic rock" is **** dead to me. SEE MORE at https://www.last.fm/user/oog
Favorite Movie(s): I have a master's degree in film studies, worked at multiple art cinemas for over 10 years, and have gone to the toronto film festival every year for the last 10, seeing 20-30 movies each year. it's kind of unfathomable that I could rattle off a list of favorite movies at this point. I remember when the Big Lebowski came out and it played the AMC on south boulevard in charlotte for one week, and I saw it every day it played. my favorite "seeing a movie with a crowd" experiences: Tree of Life, Blockada, The Artist, Godfrey Reggio's Visitors with live symphony orchestra, Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans sitting across an aisle from Nic Cage, Hurt Locker world premiere, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Kim Ki-Duk's Moebius in a crowded theatre (wow), Cafe of Forgotten Dreams in 3D at grand opening of fancy new theatre here in Toronto with Herzog in attendance, I mean I've just seen a ton of movies and love to talk about it so I could go on and on.
Favorite Book(s): James Ellroy, Doris Lessing, Cormac McCarthy, Howard Zinn (sue me), Michael Lewis, Jon Krakauer, Toni Morrison
Favorite Food(s): hmm. favorite place to eat random food was Thailand. favorite type of "fancy" restaurant is a place that does good steak or fish. favorite type of sorta-fancy restaurant is The Good Indian Restaurant in your local town. favorite cheap food is ramen. favorite sandwich is a good banh mi.
Favorite TV Show(s): the Wire, Fargo, The Get Down (part 1), Adam Curtis documentaries, Breaking Bad, I'm enjoying The Leftovers for the first time at the moment.
Hockey Jerseys In Wardrobe: I don't really do sports memorabilia as for whatever reason my sports fandom is a bit of a mystery to my IRL friends and family and I feel good about keeping it that way?
Anything Else: I like beer a lot. I also love to travel and do long road trips. I'm often saving money to go on one of those. I've driven in 49 of 50 states, most of the eastern canadian provinces, on 5 different continents, and thorough road trips in UK and Australia.
