So, you ask, how long have I been an Admirals fan? This is the answer.
While doing research on another topic (family history), I came upon the box score for this game, which was the first time I ever saw a hockey game live in person.
I went to this game with a Sunday School teacher named Dave Witek and a few of my fellow classmates in high school. Obviously, I had a great time. However, it would be about 20 more years before I became a season ticket holder.
