Confession: Dallas fan on the Calgary sub here.
So my favorite player of all time is Brett Hull. When I was 10 he scored the goal to win the Cup for Dallas, and it meant everything to me.
Fast forward to these days, my wife and I live in Alaska about 9 months out of the year and every February we catch a game at the Saddledome on our way up for the season.
Over these last few years the Flames have become my de facto “other team”.. We just saw them beat the Coyotes in Arizona, and this year, on our way up, we’ll be seeing them in Edmonton.
I finally decided to cross the streams and get a custom Hull jersey from his rookie team. My heart’s on the ice in Dallas, but that doesn’t mean I can’t absolutely wait to see the Flame kick some Oiler ass in my new sweater.
Go Flames! 🔥

We happen to like Texans around here! Tigers especially 😉 Welcome!
Nice jersey and what a cool story 🙂
Welcome aboard!
Cool jersey! Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Hull Flames jersey at the dome.
I still hotly debate the Flames trading Hull to the Blues. Can’t argue with the return helping to win the Cup but the Flames sure could have used his scoring to get past the first round in the early 90s.
