You Know You're a Hockey Fan When...?

I drive 9 hours in a major snow storm to watch a rival game.

I blow 4Gs on doing a vacation of going to all six Canadian arenas in one season (two months).

I stay up til the wee hours of the morning watching a hockey game when I have to be up for work four hours later.

...and then I come home from work to play hockey on my ps3....

....and then I spend another few hours watching hockey on tv.

I like that one - but how about this? I bike (bicycle) round-trip (25 miles or 40 km) to my local semi pro team's games - and did I mention that I live about 20 km from Mexico ??

Driving through that storm is impressive, but how's this .. remember that Stars - Sharks playoff game last year? It ended right around 3am local time here in Texas, and I had a mid-term at 7
