Hey y'all, southern fried Leafer here. I was a fan back when I was younger, then Atlanta got the Thrashers and I became a diehard thrashhead until the team moved to Winnipeg. After a period of mourning, I came back to the flock of the faithful.

I'm always asked why am I a leafs fan since there are closer teams to choose from. I tell folks that since I was so used to heartbreak and frustration with the Thrashers, Toronto seemed like the perfect fit.

Are there others out there in Atlanta, or even the south, that love the leafs as much as I do? You don't have to be from here, even if you're a displaced Canadian that works too!

Thanks for the read. Here's to smooth sheets of ice, your skates never dulling, and may the puck bounce ever in your favor.
