I'm redwings (RedWings from the old boards). I've been a Griffin season ticket holder since day one and a lifetime Wing fan. I'm one of the "gray beards" on this board (48) and so far for the most part, have been pleased with the "New NHL". I still like Manny and Chelios and revere 'The Captain' and Mr. Hockey. I am NOT a Gretzky OR Cujo fan but admit to their talents and harp on what I consider their shortcomings. I still hate the Avs and the Hawks (hell, make that any team from Chicago) and love the Original Six (except for those damn Hawks).
I'm also a life long Lion fan which makes me some kind of sado-masichist.
Thanks again for the new board. Oh, and I really like the buy/sell thread. Great idea. I'm more of a collector than a seller, but I hope people take advantage of that too.

i'm AmadioFan...and if you can't tell by my screen name, i'm a fan of Greg Amadio...lol. so yea..not sure if you guys really care, but i'll just tell you about some things..in the 2003-2004 season, i somehow became obsessed with Amadio..i have gotten his autograph 7 times..this summer, i got a game-worn jersey of his..and on it, he wrote the following::
to Kim: my obsessed fan in Columbia
i told him to do that..he didn't think of it on his own : ) so yea..he may not seem like such a good player while up there...but this is only his 1st full season he's beginning up in the A..and before he came up there this past spring, he'd only played 1 1/2 seasons in the E..so yea..anyway..enough about him..you can tell he's my favorite player..
well..i'm a fan of the Columbia Inferno, in the E..and when Greg left the team, i followed..not physically..and i ended up on the griffins board..so yes..i live down in south carolina, and still made this board..but that's why i'm leaving it up to you guys to do the updating..cause i have no clue what's going on up there..
alright..if you guys have any questions, just shoot me a PM, and i'll try to respond when i can..i'm still getting used to running the board..k...that's it for now..later

Hello, I'm Amy and I'm both a huge Griffins fan and a Red Wings fan. I'm in my second season as a Griffins season ticket holder and I love it. I sit right behind the bench with the hubby and that alone is entertainment.
My favorite players are Darryl Bootland, Matt Ellis, Drew MacIntyre and Greg Amadio. I love the players that give all they have to their team when they are out on the ice and so far this year all of my boys have. It's great to see Matt as captain because he really deserves it. He's worked so hard to come from where he has. Darryl is playing some of his best hockey this season and I hope that he can get back on his point streak. Greg I'm so proud of. He's come along way from last season and I was very impressed with GR for signing him again. In fact I'm doing Ammo's scrapbook for the Booster club this year. Drew is just a good kid who has tons of talent. I am so proud of him and rooting for him all the way. I just wish he'd get more starts.
Ok enough of my blabbering....Its great to have a new board in which to cheer on the Griffins!!!

Hello all, Brian here, (formerly Grif Fan, now griffan. Big change huh? LOL). Second season as a STH along with my wife, Sinbinmistress. We have 2 beautiful little girls. Played goal for almost 30 years and my knees feel every minute of it. Avid hockey fan. I can watch any level or league as long as it's hockey! I have a deep respect for the original 6 with the exception of Montreal. I was born in MA so I'm a huge Bruins, RedSox and Pats fan. Redwings fan by marriage! Like redwings, I'm not a big Gretzky fan. IMO he's #6 overall behind Bobby Orr, Gordie Howe, Mario Lemieux, Maurice Richard and Mark Messier. Went through a huge question of faith when Ray Bourque was traded to the Avs. As much as I loved to see him win a cup it was bittersweet because it was the #$&@*** AVS! The only scenario that would have been worse would have been if he had been traded to, and won it, with Montreal. Brian

I'm Lindsey. I've been a season ticket holder for the Toledo Storm for 14 years and am currently the VP of our Booster Club. I started visiting the original Griffins board a few years ago just to keep up with some players as they move on up the chain, though didn't start posting until last season. I've started making it to at least a few Griffins and Red Wings games each year, but traveling to out-of-town Storm games and traveling to visit a friend in the 'U' makes it a bit tough. Don't really have favorite minor-league players, just ones that I can't stand. My favorites in the NHL are Steve Yzerman and Martin Brodeur. Um, I think that's all for now.

Well I'm Nick, formerly known as Coyote0106. My mom, and her fiance are STH in Sec. 108. I tag along to most of the games, I'm the loud one with the 'Yote jerseys. I love the 'Yotes, but based on living in MI, I put the wings #2. I'm going to school for Computer Science, and blow all my money on my car.
My fav. Griffins are Quincey, & McDonell. I was suprised with how Keller played when he was up here, and would actually have liked to see him stick around. I still cringe when Meech touches the puck in our zone, or when Joey is goalie (but hey! he's a wing for now).

Well, I'm Courtney, and I've got the same name here as I did on the old Griffins board (grudesfan4).
Along with my mom (DrewMacFan1 on the old board) I've been a STH for the last 3 years and I sit in Section 225.
My favorite players...thats tough, because I like several...I'd have to say my all-time favorite Griffins player is Travis...my other favorites would have to be Drew, Joey, Oulahen, (don't tell my mom I said this) I've become a Bootland fan lately, and Amadio, I've become a fan of his lately too.
I'm also a Booster Club member and am doing Eric Manlow's scrapbook.
I think thats about it!
Love the new board Kim, thanks again for making it!

Well I'm Christy, live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Been a hockey fan as long as I can remember. Played softball most of my teenage years while attending a school known for it's performing arts program...I was in band my whole five years and drama for two. Just recently finished five years of college in April so now I'm dealing with the oh so fun stupid loan payments. Currently working two jobs...slave labour at both of course.
I'm in my third season I guess as a Griffins fan and avidly follow the Wings as well. Credit to my grandpa in Oshawa who's a huge Wings fan. My favourite players are MacIntyre, Ellis, Bootland, Himelfarb (sp?) and Amadio. I come to GR about once every three months or so to visit friends (this includes summer months as well) and attend the games when they play in Hamilton and Toronto.

Ok, I made it. I'm Scott, several year Griffins season ticket holder. I live in Grand Rapids. Been a Red Wings fan since and during the Dead Wings era, been a Griffin fan since the inaugural season. I'm a hardcore hockey memorabilia collector and love to buy/trade/show off. Favorite Griffins are Booter, Hudler, Amadio, Filppula and McDonell. Favorite past Griffins are Karlander (duh), W. Brookbank, Szysky, Patterson and Boisvert. Favorite Red Wings are: Most of them. Past Wings: Probie, Ysebaert, Ogrodnick, Kocur, Ward, LaPointe. I've missed 4 Griffins games in 5 seasons and attended more than half each season before that. I used to go to Owls games as a child, if that gives away my approximate age... Non-market favorite teams: Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs. Little guys: Toledo Storm, Muskegon Fury. I'm a new Booster Club member this year. Thanks for the new board, I hope it's a success! I also wish I could use hyphens and caps to reclaim my old username, K-Lander. Oh yes. Until I forgot my pa$$word on the official board I was RedGriff 1 PS word filters are not cool ^^^ Can that be changed?

Yeah, I was having a slight problem with the word filters too....I agree with klander, I don't like them, but I suppose if they can't be changed, they'll have to do!

Ok. My name on here is Racki (after the goon in Youngblood who gets his ass kicked at the end of the film...but is still a pretty big bad ass). I'm not a season ticket holder cuz my wife and I like to sit in different spots throughout the season and usually just buy the cheap-o seats and move around anyway.
Favorite players: Amadio (much improved over last season), Flipper (smart player who is exciting to watch and can change the momentum of the game at any point), and Helmer (solid as they come). My interest in Wilson is growing with each game (especially when he scores twice like yesterday).
Least favorite players: Bootland (although he is showing signs of improvement, I'm still skeptical) and Meech (shouldn't be playing at this level).
Huge Wings fan. (except for some reason, I really can't stand Draper and it kills me that he made the Canadian roster over Shanny).
Thanks for the new site. I visit it during work when I can and it makes the day go by (especially since I'm an instigator and will eventually poke jabs at each and every one of you).
