WingNutt 12 Report post Posted April 16, 2010 One of the things I love about our sport, is how loyal we fans are to our team, and the crazy fans and traditions teams have. As any wings fan knows we have Mo Cheese guy that dresses up with weird hats and dances at every game to hey moe!, The Orange Hat Guy, and a lady that knits. All infamous fans that bring something special and different to our team, and as far as tradition goes, We have the Octopi, Nashville has Catfish, Florida Panthers have plastic Rats, and so on. The Canucks have these crazy guys that dress in all green spandex head to toe, and they mess with the visiting teams players who visit the penalty box try to get in their heads at how weird and bizarre the whole thing is. In Calgary they have a little 11 year old kid that dress up like Kiprusoff and mimics his every move, He has goal pads, jersey, matching mini mask, they call him little-kipper. Every team has something special and unique like this If you guys know some of the others post them up discuss and see how either crazy NHL fans are or how committed they are as fans to make it special for their home team. Another thing to consider is the tradition of the hat trick. this one has been around a long time and every team and hockey fan honors it what other sport is this great?

I Red Wings I 40 Report post Posted April 16, 2010 I can't find a picture but years ago, a Toronto woman would dress up as a wizard and would use her "magic wand" over the Maple Leaf bench for good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

superstarsingh 23 Report post Posted April 16, 2010 Pittsburgh and their stupid copying of Phoenix's white out (who was the first to do it, right?) Their home uniforms are black and they look like the opposing team. I suppose this true of any home team that does a white out since white jerseys are now the road jerseys. It was started by the Jets back in Winnipeg when the home jerseys were white and the Coyotes took that tradition to Phoenix with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
