Hi everyone,   
 
Today is the start of the 2016-2017 hockey season!! I can't believe it is finally here!   I am so excited!!  It's been a LONG summer!
 
Please post about your team!  Update us on upcoming games, channels and times of when/where we can watch, scores, standings, rumors, trades, articles about hockey/your team, etc.
 
I hope all the fans who joined me last year are able to join in this year, along with anyone else who wants to join in.  All are welcome.

I love the first day of the season. There is hope for all of our teams to win the Stanley Cup!!

Here's to a well played, competitive, injury free, fun year of hockey!!

Good luck to all our teams!

I'm watching Sharks, Kings, Bruins early in the season and will settle on one to follow in a few weeks. I have various levels of loyalty to all three!

Welcome @gardensla.  Enjoy following three good teams.  Let us know which one you pick to follow.  All three are good choices.

@DesertPony so glad to see you here.    We are all students of the game. There are plenty here who will answer any questions for you.  Just enjoy the speed and skill these guys possess!!  

I understand about being busy during the baseball playoffs. I've been there, too, when the Yankees were in it a million years ago............ok, it only seems like a million years ago. lol     I'll still be watching and cheering on the Cubs!! 

Join in anytime you want. We are here starting tonight and going straight through the Stanley Cup!!
