Canes Country
Greetings! I've been on HF Boards awhile and know some of you already but thought with the draft coming up I should introduce myself. I don't post much but I lurk all the time, and I love reading your draft/prospect reviews, they are always top shelf, so thanks for all the info and discussion.


Name: Dreamie
About me: NC native; NC State grad; husband is from Pittsburgh, he, my son and I are season ticket holders.
What brought you to HF Boards: Don't remember exactly, I'm on most of the Canes boards and probably got linked over here. My favorite thread was always the ex-Canes appreciation thread.
How you became a hockey fan: Osmosis
How you became a Canes fan: We'd previously followed the Pens and Caps, and moved back to Raleigh from DC during the lockout. On a whim we decided to buy a mini-plan for the 05-06 season.
Favorite thing about being a Canes fan: It's so darn easy to be a Canes fan.
Favorite Cane's Player(s): Tuoooooooooomo Ruuuuuuutuuuu
(really a fan of the entire team with special shout out to Cam Ward and some unhealthy hero worship for Rod Brind'Amour. Oh, and anyone who wears a boa and gets an anthem changed on his behalf deserves a mention so Jussi too)
Favorite NON Cane's Player(s): Mostly ex-Canes like Justin Williams, Mike Commodore, Cory Stillman, Mark Recchi. I was always a big fan of Olie Kolzig. And Super Mario.
Other Sports You Like: Most of them except not a fan of the NBA
Other Sports Teams You Cheer For: Steelers, NFL Panthers, Pens when they're not playing us or taking one of my favorite players out of the game, then I consider them *******s
Hockey Jerseys In Wardrobe: My pride and joy is Ruutu's game-worn jersey from Glen Wesley night; while not a jersey I also have one of Brind'Amour's skates from the 2006 Finals, a Brindy 05-06 replica, and a Ruutu replica third jersey. Husband has game-worn KAds, Seids, Chad LaRose, some Pens and baby Pens stuff, and a signed Rocket Richard Habs sweater. Various and sundry sticks, pucks, game cards, etc.
Anything Else: I've been known to take a picture or two at a hockey game.

Yeah, I changed my name because I'm jumping teams, I posted a really lengthy and drawn out reason as to why on my blag; http://www.doctormowinckel.com/?p=270, if you're so inclined to read it. I really hope you aren't, because there's a lot of words. To bottom line it; Prior to the last few years, I've been a fan of players before teams, the player I was a fan of isn't the NHL anymore, so I've been a fan without a player, so to speak. Jussi Jokinen really piqued my interest a lot this year, enough that he's the new guy I'm going to follow in the NHL. So basically, I'm going to stick around this board from now on.

Name: Hockey Gazelle, but that obviously isn't my real name. Call me Milgrim if you don't like online aliases.
Age: 22
Sex: Milgrim is a boys name. Oh, oh! I'm supposed to be witty. I meant, not in about six months, ha ha! I'm funny.
Where You're From: Alberta
Where You Live Now: Ohio
Nationality: I've lived in America long enough that I'm comfortable being referred to as 'American'.
Mode of Transportation: 1978 Datsun 510 wagon.
Job: Personal trainer.
What brought you to HF Boards: Did a google search for "Hockey forum"
How you became a hockey fan: Natural attraction.
How you became a Canes fan: Cam Ward and Ron Brind'Amour have had my eye for a while, but Jussi Jokinen sealed the deal.
Favorite thing about being a Canes fan: Team's full of grade A guys, hard not to love 'em.
Favorite Cane's Player(s): Jussi Jokinen
Favorite NON Cane's Player(s): Tyler Plante
Other Sports You Like: Rally racing.
Other Sports Teams You Cheer For: None, really.
College Attended/Attending: I'll let you know when I get into a school.
Video Game Systems Owned: 360, and a bunch of old stuff.
Favorite Game(s): Vagrant Story, Half Life 2.
Music You Listen To: The Cardigans, downtempo electronic, jazz, Swedish punk rock.
Favorite Movie(s): Everything is Illuminated, Ghost in the Shell 2.
Favorite Book(s): Pattern Recognition, The Sprawl Trilogy, Dexter series
Favorite Food(s): Pasta, meat.
Favorite TV Show(s): South Park, Dexter, Firefly.
Hockey Jerseys In Wardrobe: Red Jussi Jokinen jersey in the mail! A few Penguins, Rangers, an Aves jersey, a Panthers jersey, a Kings jersey, I don't know why I have a Kings jersey. Or a Panthers jersey.
Anything Else: The Cardigans are my favourite band by a mile, and I read a lot of books. I like wine, too. I saw someone in this thread who mentioned they liked wine.

^Just sent a jersey off to have 36/Jokinen put onto it. I am pumped about The Juice.

Didn't know where to post this, but I am too proud to not post, haha.

A few months ago, I found a game-issued inaugural season jersey on eBay. I looked into a display box for it, but Michael's wanted 400+ bucks for one... :help:

So this morning, I got some gumption and decided to start working on one myself. Pretty soon it will grace the space above my kegerator.

Heres the work so far:

I just have to assemble plexiglass to the stained frame I made for the front, and then possibly install some hinges, and it will be ready for display. :) I am married, so when the wife works weekends I have to find something to do when the season isn't in.

Became a season ticket holder for the Richmond Renegades in the ECHL when they came around. (Btw, the IceCaps were the most BORING team to watch.)
How you became a Canes fan: Moved to Raleigh in 2001, just in time for the first Cup run. Cemented when Mitch Albom made his cheap comments about Raleigh and NC during the Finals.
