the only thing i can figure is that looking at my age in the pic it was definitely taken in the early 80's. times were really tight back then with the recession and my older brother was a huge gretzky fan - so it must have been a hand-me-down. even so... i still feel dirty.

I was attending NAIT in Edmonton during Gretzky's first 2 years as an Oiler. I ended up going to more than a few games to watch him play and seriously considered becoming an Oilers fan. It was only after I graduated and moved back to Calgary did I realise just how insane I was.
I still have nightmares about that time in my life
