Welcome to my Keith Tkachuk Page...

Here's yet another long and boring explanation, so hold on to your hats. It all started when I became a Hartford Whalers fan. I actually attended games, and still have programs and ticket stubs from those games. I think I attended games before I was even a sports fan, but hey, that was the only major league sports team in the state of CT. Anyway, when I left one year before the Whalers did, I basically had to give up hockey. At school that fall, I watched someone drool over hockey players and thought she was gross because they never have teeth, how can they be hot? Also, how can one tell? They've always got helmets on that cover their faces!

The same year, in the midst of my Keith Lockhart obsession, someone told me I should root for another Keith, who does more manly things with his stick than Lockhart does (although we REALLY won't go there). Since it was a man telling me this, I thought 'okay, whatever.' When I finally came upon a picture of Mr. Tkachuk, I thought...okay, maybe he's not that bad-looking. Then, I saw all the Olympic hockey previews and realized that the boy must be pretty good if he made the U.S. hockey team. (Hey, dorm-trashing is cool; just look at my room!) After the Olympics, I became Tkachuk groupie of the world. The only problem is, why should I root for a player on a transplanted team when my team was transplanted the year after? That's mean, nasty and sucky.
