Long story kept short, I'm 33 and literally haven't watched the NHL since I was in high school in the mid '90s. The NHL's hope of bringing in fans with the recent Olympics worked with me as I'm now excited to follow the sport again.
I live in the Cincinnati area so supporting the Blue Jackets seemed like the obvious choice.

I've been brushing up on my hockey and the NHL again and look forward to enjoying the conversation here. Off to watch the Blue Jackets on TV.
