Be a True NHL Hockey Fan!

Men and sports... there is no way to separate the two. Are you one of those guys who can't stand missing a single hockey match? Are you tempted to spend all your income, just so you can go watch the NHL Hockey matches? Admit it, you are a fan! But don't just sit in front of the TV, watching the NHL Hockey matches or don't limit your supportive activity to going to the matches and screaming from the tribunes. What can I do more?, you might ask yourself. Well, be a true fan, a declared fan and supporter. How can you do that? Here is how!

For starters, you should know that there are wide ranges of fan clubs and associations that confirm your fan status. For example, there is the National Hockey League Fans' Association and various clubs that can be found all over the country. The main association basically tries to unite all fans from all over the country in order to promote hockey as a business and, obviously, as a sport. Furthermore, these fan clubs and associations are concerned with gaining the fan's power and speaking for the fans, in behalf of the fans.

If you are a true supporter, it is advisable to become a member of such an association, especially since, in most cases, this membership is free of charge - you will have access to the world behind the ice ring, you will have the chance to discuss and debate upon the NHL Hockey world. You might be surprised to find out that being a NHL Hockey fan pays of. How so? Well, the true fans can get free stuff in case they are part of fan clubs or fans' associations - free tickets, free news, participations to hockey events and many more. And this is quite something!

Many lovers of this sport find it difficult to choose one single team and support only that team under all circumstances. NHL Hokey basically stands for the National Hockey League, the league that gathers all hockey teams in USA. So, if you are having troubles selecting just one team, the good news is that you don't really need to support one specific team, you can be a fan of the game itself, if you are dedicated NHL Hockey fan, with a membership at a reputable association!

So now you know: instead of being passive and sitting comfortably in your armchair in front of the hockey matches on TV, you could be an active supporter and fan and get involved in this NHL Hockey fans community that can help you meet more fans like you, find out the latest news in your favorite sport and participate (even for free) at sportive championships.

Detroit Red Wings are still rolling

I have never been a real big hockey fan, maybe being from Southern California had something to do with it. Not many people here are into hockey as much as baseball, football and basketball. But I remember as a kid looking at the NHL standings and rooting for the L.A. Kings to be in first place. Sometimes they were but most of the time not, most city's could probably say that about their home teams. There was always a team though that year after year seemed to be near the top and that was the Detroit Red Wings.

It still has not ended as I am now a grown adult, they are still one of the elite NHL teams.I mean, don't teams ever need to rebuild and have a couple bad seasons during the rebuilding process. Teams do get old you know. Wouldn't a salary cap slow you down. You can't be good forever when you are never near the top of the draft to pick up the top future players, right? Normally the answer would be - of course. The Detroit Red Wings never got the memo though!

They are on pace to win at least 50 games for the third straight season, Detroit looks to match the Montreal Canadians of 1974-82 as the only teams in NHL history to reach 100 points for eight straight seasons. And, lest we forget, the Wings own the longest current postseason streak in pro sports with 16 straight playoff appearances, including 15 in a row that have started on home ice.

Detroit is one of the all time great franchises in NHL history. They have 10 Stanley Cups under their belt, third most in NHL history. The Toronto Maple Leafs for second place on the list with 13. If your wondering who has the most, well let's just say that it will be sometime before they, or anyone else ever catches the Montreal Canadiens who have 24 championships.
