Home Team Spirit
Living in San Jose, the sporting scene is severely limited. Being from Texas, I grew up a diehard football fan, and while the Raiders and the 49ers are close by, it is difficult for me to consider them hometown teams. In an effort to satiate my local sports appetite, I began following the San Jose Sharks on a regular basis a few years ago.
At first, I didn’t even understand the game, but now hockey has grown into my favorite sport. It has all of the hitting and physicality that I love about football, except there are far fewer stoppages during game play. I have even dedicated my TV room to the hometown Sharks and equipped it with NHL lamps, posters and other memorabilia
Building an NHL Shrine
Ever since I was little I have been an avid Toronto Maple Leafs fan, so when I finally got my own place, I decided to dedicate my game room to my favorite squad. The centerpiece of the room was an antique billiards table, so I looked for some paraphernalia to complement it. I was able to find a variety of Maple Leafs pool accessories, including a cue rack and dartboard to adorn the wall.
As I expanded my collection, I even invested in billiard lights and bar stools from my favorite team. After finding a specialty site that carried a vast range of products, I added a couple of authentic NHL clocks. Now whenever I check out the time I’m reminded of my favorite team, and I never forget to watch a game.
