You know you're a hockey fan when...

You know you're a hockey fan when:

1) You make arrangements to attend your hometown hockey team's first game (Ft. Collins) and first home game (Rapid City) of the season

(Note: this is the Rush's inaugural season!)

2) You wear a hockey jersey to the game ('sweater' for you old school hockey fans) and receive compliments on your attire (likely due in large part to it being an AVS jersey!)

3) The fans sitting next to you ask you to explain the rules of the game

4) A picture of you from the game appears in the front page section of your hometown newspaper

5) The hardcore hockey fans (some may say 'goons'), who sat directly behind the net giving the opposing goalie grief throughout the game, exchange pleasantries with you after the game

...and most importantly: you can't wait to experience it again!

GO RUSH!

Always remember...

There is always hope.
