In the spring of 2011, I was a sophomore at a tiny liberal arts college just outside Boston, and more importantly for this story, I was a fairly new hockey fan.
I love a good story, and I was lured into hockey through the stories told by two of my friends: one the photographer for the ECHL's Utah Grizzlies, and the other a Montrealer. Both huge Montreal Canadiens fans.
Compared to many people, I haven't been ahockey fan very long. I missed out on the careers of Saku Koivu, Patrick Roy and Teemu Selanne.
