You missed the wild times of the Punch McLean era (re: New West Bruins). Those were the days....Well....As a local dude from New West, a hometown team has to be my team right?
My nickname is Whaleliam because of a tattoo on my left arm. I'm approaching 25. Got interested in hockey during the 2002 Olympics though didn't watch any playoffs until the playoffs that year. Mats Sundin was my first ever favourite player as the west games always ended after my bed time. I was living in Kamloops at the time and when the following season began I discovered Vancouver had a team and that their captain and I shared the same birthday, was pretty much the coolest thing in the world to me at that age. I will always love Nazzy and him and Sundin ensured I'll always have a soft spot for Swedes (Sedins certainly didn't hurt that either). Moved to Calgary shortly after but have always remained loyal to the Canucks. Never had much of a rivalry with friends here, we all pretty much cheer on each others teams when they're not playing eachother. On that note, I find it very hard to dislike teams. I have a hard time actively cheering against teams unless I have a 'hockey' reason (trying to make playoffs etc). The exception is Boston who I think I will always despise. Was always cool with Chicago but **** Duncan Keith. I was convinced that Nikolaj Ehlers was the 3rd best player in his draft and was literally screaming at my tv for the Canucks to pick him. I forever feel personally attacked by the Virtanen choice. Oddly enough wasn't exceptionally upset with Juelovi over Tkachuk, though I didn't really like either at the draft.
Spent the last 6 years working two jobs to fund my biggest love: travel. Hit Antarctica a couple years ago which was my last Continent and biggest dream come true (its the most beautiful place on the planet and no one will ever convince me otherwise). I'll cross the 40 country plateau in August before heading back to Uni in the fall. Most of my travel has taken place in the winter months as I like to spend my summers in the Rockies. I'm also obsessed with maps and geography. My daily internet routine during the season is to check the Utica Comets thread (shout out to all the incredible posters there) and then do random geography quizzes...
How is living in Iceland?? Did you do Nyiragongo in the Congo? I keep myself up to date on all the news effecting the Congo after my visit in 2016. Just a piece of magic on Earth and I lament that areas tragic history. I hope one day more people will know what a treasure that part of the world is and be able to safely visit and that the locals prosper.
I'd be fascinated to hear all about Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan. I'm off to Iran in August but Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan were my other considerations. I would love to pick your brain about the logistics of Mongolia and your experience after!

Welcome here.I’m Cam. Born in North Vancouver but was raised in Prince George. Been a Canucks fan since the West Coast Express days but I really became a hardcore fan in 2008. Like to talk hockey with like-minded people and always open to having a good discussion about sports.
I've been seeing your avatar here for nearly 10 years now I think.Hi everyone, just realized there was this thread. Grub here, don't need to know my name..
I'm 27 now... joined these boards when I was a young munchkin back in High School. I lived in Port Coquitlam all my live until I graduated from SFU in 2012. Got a good opportunity to work in Singapore for a consulting company and moved there in 2013, needed a change of scenery after 22 years of peaceful Canadian living.
That's why I'm usually the random guy that posts at 2 AM. Just realized this is 3 AM in Vancouver now... it's only 6 PM here

How do you like Singapore? I got to visit last year and was struck by some of the similarities to Vancouver, but also fascinated by what seemed to me to be a high level of social control. Also amazed by the incredibly inexpensive, yet mind-blowing cuisine, especially from the hawkers.Hi everyone, just realized there was this thread. Grub here, don't need to know my name..

What? I really would like to win that emmy!
Genuinely curious... What is he wrong about exactly? And for the people telling him he shouldn't post about things he doesn't know anything about.... wouldn't that mean he never posts here at all about hockey? lol
He may have made a sweeping generalization, and might have been very clumsy about suggesting there would be concern travelling there, but I am not sure there is not reason to be concerned about moving through the country (moreso than just about anywhere you might travel in North America).
