just skimming over these posts, but I'm a born Flyers (and hockey in general) fan. I know others tend to either love the Flyers or hate 'em, but I'm tried and true through the good and the bad. sadly, I don't get to see many games since I live in Capitals country. music and hockey were combined about a year or so ago, when I went home to AC and my Dad and I took 3 of my nephews to a Phantoms v. Bears game at the Spectrum in Philly and right after the game, IKE played center ice. it was indeed very cool http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluflower/89398752/ and I've inherited my love of hockey via my Dad and my Grandmother (his Mom). My Grandmother collected newspaper clippings and such as a child in the early 1900s (she was born in 1915) but lost most of it when they had to move. She also was a big supporter and very active with the Atlantic City Seagulls hockey team, which was part of the Eastern Amateur Hockey League (EAHL) in the 30s, 40s, and 50s http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluflower/2150110808/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluflower/2142697805/ lauree On Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 7:33 AM, John L.
