I know I told this story in my "welcome rookies" thread, but tough rocks ; You get to read it again. I moved to suburban Minneapolis (Eden Prairie) around '91, and was in 4th grade with Neil Broten's daughter, Brooke. She looked like a hockey player (not a compliment for a female). I also lived in a neighborhood with Bobby Smith, and his son Ryan was my best friend for awhile. I got to skate at the Met Center a few times, and was in the locker room after a game. I also saw Dave Gagner at an autograph signing at a hat store in the mall.

I'm so torn. I loved all those guys, but I wanted Norm Green (the owner) to get hit by a fuel truck. I was mad at the franchise. Mike Modano, if you're reading this, I can't stay mad at you....

Hey everybody, I'm Brian from Indianapolis. I actually grew up playing NHLPA '93, so the whole concept of one-timers is like a new toy I can't stop playing with. I was born in Indy, but lived in Detroit, Minneapolis, Buffalo, Indy again, Miami, and Indy again. I lived in MN during the last 3 years of the North Stars, and went to 4th grade with Neal Broten's daughter Brooke, and Bobby Smith's son Ryan, who became my best friend. When the North Stars lost in the Cup finals to Pittsburgh, I was crushed, and when the team moved to Dallas, it was worse than my parents getting divorced. I still wear North Stars stuff, and have one of Jon Casey's old sticks laying around. To Whomever the Dallas coach is this year, please note I'll be playing with a certain zeal against them. Nothing personal, only business.... I'm almost embarrassed about how excited I am to join this league. Oh, almost forgot. I'm Cardinalhockey3 on AIM and on our league site.

Hi everyone I discovered this site the other day, and came pretty close to pissing my pants when I saw you the leagues. I didn't really play '94, I was more an NHLPA '93 guy myself, as I lived in Minnesota and didn't want to acknowledge a franchise in Dallas. I've played a few games just on the ROM itself, but will be looking for a few test games online before trying to get into a league. Email me at blbaker3@gmail.com if you're up to it.
