Despite growing up in Maryland, my dad made it pretty hard for me to be anything other than a Philadelphia Flyers fan. Born in Yardley, he was a die-hard fan of each Philly team, but the Flyers were his clear favorite. Throughout my childhood, he purchased partial season tickets and NHL Center Ice so we could watch the Orange and Black despite being two hours away from our favorite team. Even when things got a little tight financially during my time in high school, we always found a way to watch the Flyers, in person or on television.
