How I became a Sharks fan

Growing up in Connecticut we had the Hartford Whalers and that was the team I started to follow as a young boy.  One thing that made me made was back in 1991 the whalers traded my favorite player Ron Francis and Ulf Samuelsson to the Penguins.  I grow to like these players a lot and could not believe they got traded away.  I did not want to be called a bang wagon fan so I decide to root for the newest team the San Jose Sharks.  So this was my start and the way I became a San Jose Sharks fan.
