Mo Man Hockey Jam #2 My Hockey Genesis
Copyright 2019 by Michael W. Rickard II
Everyone has a story about how they fell in love with hockey, but I’d say my story is pretty nontraditional. My love for hockey didn’t start by playing it or watching it on TV.

Copyright 2019 by Michael W. Rickard II
The Sabres' first season ran from 1970-1971, never mind....The Internet needs another hockey blog like the music world needs another (insert name of musician you hate) album. Nonetheless, this is the Internet where the rules of supply and demand are irrelevant when it comes to the production of blogs. Join me now as I take a look at life as a Buffalo Sabres fan and hockey fan in general.
