Flames fan- Born in Calgary. Wasn't much of a hockey fan when I was young and actually hated watching it. Moved to Edmonton though in the middle of Grade 2. Everyone in my class tried to get me to be a oilers fan, but for some reason call it instincts I just knew I couldn't cheer for the oilers. Been a hardcore flames fan since that point. Been in Edmonton 14 years now and haven't missed a flames/oiler game at Rexall place.
Oakland A's- Good old baseball on the sega genesis. Always played as the A's as they had the power hitters McGwire and Canseco. Also one of my good buddies was a huge A's fan so it was just a perfect fit.
Seattle Seahawks- Always watched football, but never really had a favorite team for the longest time. Then one year can't remeber exactly (2001?) I was watching and saw Shaun Alexander run for like 5 or 6 touchdowns. He instantly became my favorite player and the Seahawks were my favorite team. Also helped that we get the Spokane channel so Hawks games were always on tv.
