How I Became a Caps Fan
A couple years ago, we drove up to DC for my little sister’s 8th birthday to catch a Caps game. I think I was probably the most interested in the game, even though I only had a mild interest in hockey itself at the time. Then I had a nearly year-long NHL hiatus until the 2011 Winter Classic. I was watching passively, really, until the end, when the Capitals won. I said something about how Sid and Alex should have fought. I was into Sid’s looks at the time, so my mom asked me how many hot guys would have been in that fight. I thought about it and googled Alex Ovechkin out of curiousity. Soon, I developed a major infatuation with him and, through him, the entire team.
Yes, I started as a bandwagoning fangirl, but am now one of the most sincere fans you’ll find. Hate me if you like, I don’t care. I’ll stand by my team no matter what.
