I get asked quite frequently how I became a Flyers fan all the way over in Sweden and the answer is pretty simple: Eric Lindros. Let me elaborate:
I’ve loved the game of hockey for as long as I can remember and my mother is the one who introduced me to the sport. She used to take me to watch our local team, Leksands IF, quite often when I was a kid and I was hooked straight away. The atmosphere in the arena was incredible, the fans were chanting songs about the team and the players no matter how good or bad they were playing.
