    Non-Michigan fans: How did you become a Wings fan?

    Okay .. first my English is not the best ( but i hope i can change that in June when i go 6 weeks to Calgary in a english language school ) How did i become a Wings fan.. all had start in 1990 when i have seen Steve Yzerman play at the World Champion Ship here in Switzerland. I did not know much about Hockey whe i have see Team Canada play live in Bern. But there was one player in this team who was great out there. His skating and Stickhandling was awesome. The best Player out there. ( and the end of this tournament he get the best Player of the Tournament award) His number #19 ; his name Steve Yzerman. After this game i have start to watch all Wings games where they had send here in Switzerland.. first only for see Yzerman play.. but how can you be a Steve Yzerman fan, and not be a Wings fan.. ?? That can't be the Yzerman was teh Heart and soul of the Wings.. so i start to be a Wings fan too ... It's not easy to be a Wings fan from Switzerland.. at the moment we had no Tv station who send NHL games, and last Year there was only send 4 Wings games over the season. But there is allways the Internet Wings Game Radio where i listen the games in the middle of the night. And im happy i have make 2 vacations in detroit and have see 6 Wings games at the Joe live. And the best thing .. i had the luck to see Steve Yzerman play live at the Joe and meet him after a Wings practice.. For a long time fan like me thats something you never will forget.
