Flyers fan since: 1975
The first hockey stick I got was a Bobby Clarke , in (around) 1975-76. Because they had just won back-to-back Cups, my packs of hockey cards were full of Flyers when I started collecting. I loved the colors and the logo and the names and of course my Clarkie stick, and they were my team for good. I have never gotten over the 1987 Finals and I never will. I was a sports editor with a local paper in St. Louis for 8 years, but it went out of business. I moved to Thailand in 2012 and work as a university teacher now. I previously lived in Stockholm for 3 years. NHL Gamecenter Live has allowed me to watch all of our games, and after being out of the loop for several years, I am overjoyed to finally be back in tune with how things are going. I play Eastside Hockey Manager pretty avidly
