Thread: Hello Everybody!

I'm a new Kings fan, actually I'm a new hockey fan in general. I was born and raised in New Orleans and have really embraced the sport. I look forward to commenting and learning more about the sport.

Welcome!

wow all kinds of nooby! Welcome to the fun. Try to get to the games. mmmmm New Orleans grub. Now I need to go get some jambalaya.

I've been to a few, it's part of what has me hooked.

Thanks for the welcome. Hey, a win last night and we scored more than 1 goal!

Welcome to LGK, stain!

I have to ask though... what made you decide to follow the Kings of all teams in New Orleans?

Welcome! Now make us some gumbo!

Hawt or not?

What kind of stain are we talking about here?

I was born and raised in New Orleans, moved to LA in '99 (my entire family is still in NO). I'm a Saints fan, Hornets fan, LSU ... I go to Saints games out here (SD/SF) and Staples whenever the Hornets are playing the Clippers and Lakers.

As you know we don't have a hockey team. In the 80s the Chicago Blackhawks owner used to show the games late at night in NO, that ended after a few years but I did enjoy the sport. I have a friend from NO out here and he is a hockey fan, for years he tried to get me to go to games with him, I always turned him down. Then the Olympics a few years ago hooked me, I started watching the Kings on TV and then started to go to games. For the past 3 seasons I've been following the team very closely (watching them on TV and attending games) and just found this site about 2 weeks ago ... and now, here I am.

Thanks to everyone for their well wishes!

My wife will have to make the gumbo, I'm better at eating it rather than making it.
