I am a 48 year old past his prime fan of the NHL's New York Islanders since I played hookey on a spring day in 1975.It was game four of the quarter final series against Pittsburgh.I will never forget the never say die attitude that entire team possessed.When I am not cheering for the Islanders,the Bridgeport Sound Tigers,the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL,the San Diego Chargers,the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Glasgow Celtic of the Scottish Premier League I am a glorified taxi driver for the railway.Before that I was in the transfer business delivering trucks and buses across North America and before that I trained and drove standardbred racehorses for many years.
