I cant say I specifically remember when I became a Flames fan. I remember bits and pieces of the 88-89 run. Specifically I remember being 8 at the time and sneaking downstairs well after my bed time to watch the flames v kings series
My grandpa had season tickets at the time on the blue line first row where the fancy club seats are these days. Had Calgary/Montreal gone to a game 7 I would have been there, I wish I still had the tickets for that game.
Basically some of my earlest memories are of the 88-89 run, but I had a pretty good scrap book of flames clippings growing up that started before the run, so maybe it was the beginning of the season...maybe even the season before that but Im not entirely sure
as for when I became a fan of other sports teams?
well.....
if its not hockey, its not worth watching
