Finally

Stereotype?

We are all over, I grew up in Connecticut, went to high school in Philadelphia, Played Bantams in New York, practiced where the Rangers practiced, their developmental coach was my Bantam ( and Mite, and Mini Mite) coach. Played Juniors in Philly, played games at the Spectrum (old Flyers arena). Have been a Flyers fan since the late 60's, Been an Islanders fan since the mid 70's (strive for five days).
Thay started a ECHL team in Pensacola, about an hour from here. Metro played the first couple of years there, them moved up, got picked up by the Caps. We see him a couple of times a year, he taught my kids (now 15 and 17) to skate. The highlight of the early years was when the Ice Pilots (P'cola) played the ampton Rds (VA) team, coached by John Brophy (Maple Leafs Head Coach), I got to meat him, had a drink or three with him. The low point was when Pensacola got Wayne Cashman as a coach, he was the guy who told me to get out of hockey when I was a Junior. I went to another team (Coach Joe Buchino, Rangers asst coach) and the next game scored a natural hat trick, ahhh revenge is sooo... sweet.

The Ice Pilots first coach, when they moved from Nashville (Nashville Knights) was Al Pederson, formerly of the Bruins. When I was in college in Rhode Island we went to games in the old Boston Garden. I played two seasons at Brown, then transfered to Union College (Skating Dutchmen) in upstate New York.

Been a while since we been to Tronno for a 2-4 a blue, me, I'd rather be seein' the Governor, eh!
