And we had a season's pass to West Ed Waterpark, I'm wearing a blue Oilers jersey in my I.D. pic
We moved to Calgary a year later. Between that, and discovering I was actually born in Calgary (I always thought it was Edmonton, for some reason where you're born was a big deal to me in terms of who you cheered for), and that was that. My relatives were sickened to see me in red the next Christmas...and every Christmas since then.
