It's pretty difficult being a Bruins fan living in Ontario, but I have been since 1967 - I've seen a lot now! - I was raised in Parry Sound (Orr's hometown) and my birthday is the same day as his so at a very young age I became an Orr/Boston Bruins fan and proud that I have never switched my allegiance!!

10.) Growing up in a non major sports market, you kind of had to pick a team. I remember starting to watch hockey around 92, I was about 12. The Bruins were on ESPN a decent amount, and the team and their fans and their attitudes resonated with me. I followed since then with varing intensity depending on National TV coverage. Growing up, I would always select Boston in video games. Coworkers during my time working as a stick boy and an equipment manager in the minor leagues, had also followed Boston due to home town loyalty and it also rubbed off on me. Since 2008 I've had NHL Center Ice package, and either watch live or DVR the game. Have maybe missed a dozen since 08. Made a pilgrimage to TD Garden for the home opener of 10-11, plus the following game. Sat in the 3rd row from glass near tunnel; was amongst the kids fist-bumping the team as they came out. Follow most New England based sports media.
