Yikes! I thought you were leaving when I saw the thread title!
Yup, ten years, I guess I jumped in a few months after, just before the playoffs started I believe.
It was another CP legend that told me about the site, Facepaint! I had actually been sitting just behind him in good ol' section 218 back then. Since the Save the Flames campaign of 2000 when I bought tickets. I believe he and his friends bought in 99. Some of them posted on here too, but I forget their user names. There was one with a Vernon username.
Each consecutive year after that we kept adding to our group till we had taken over the majority of the section, haha. The lot of us including his friends and my friends (and my sister, who went from being a Dallas first fan to a Calgary first fan as we slowly freed her mind) actually became fast friends and ended up sharing a lot of good times together besides just going to hockey games. Oh and our usher became part of our group too, which had some benefits when it came to getting away with a little bad behaviour at the games occasionally. In all honestly, very occasionaly, we were pretty responsible and most people were excited to sit in our section with us.
Anyway, yeah ten years! Good to have met you too MQS and many others on the site I have become friendly with. Here's to another ten!
