Just name the player and his image will come to mind in their team uniform. This was the old six team NHL. The Chicago Black Hawks, New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Montreal Canadiens. I became a Toronto fan. All the teams had proud and long traditions.

My favorite player was Frank Mahovlich. Mahovlich won six Stanley Cups. In 1974 the Philadelphia Flyers became the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup. Today hockey has 30 teams. I swear the NHL leadership is listening to soccer moms instead of hockey moms. Let the Fans begin the cheers. If your fans can’t generate their own team cheers, then send them to a soccer game. Check out a Sabres-Leafs, Oilers-Flames, or Rangers-Islanders game. Let’s get the greatest game back where it belongs – to the real hockey fans. See also hockey fights.

Less extreme NHL fans can still show team spirit by decorating their home with a favorite team’s colors or logo. Image Bedroom has hockey bedding and home décor from each of the NHL’s 30 teams. Even without taking it as far as Dean McCord’s basement, hockey fans can find everything they need to turn a room into their own hockey shrine online at sites like Image Bedding, even shower curtains and bed sheets.
