PrintEditor's Note: WebBard posted this initially on August 29, 2010, and got a ton of responses. But several of us thought with the season starting again and some winter regulars returning from hibernation, it's time to bump it up. If you never put your location in comments, you know what to do.
Hey guys, I've long been wanting to do this and now feels like a good time. It's always interesting to see how spread across North America (and Europe, for at least BenHasa) Islander fans and visitors here are. I'm putting together a google map of LHH users. I got started on it with Dom, David and Me because I know the general area we all live in.

In the comments just list the biggest city (and country if it's not the US or Canada) closest to you and I'll add you and your icon to the map. To make things easier, just go with wherever you happen to be now. Hope you guys have some fun with this.

You should have seen
what all the wind did around here. I lost two 20 year old trees, and my shed was sitting on top of my garage. ON TOP! Looked like a Chihuahua humping a Great Dane.
One guy south west of me lost his roof. I don’t mean that his roof was in the yard, he lost it. No one has found it yet. I think it might be in the lake West of me, but that would be about 6 miles from his house, and he has only found two shingles. Fun year to be in IL!

Saratoga Springs, NY
But my mother’s late parents lived on the other side of Eisenhower Park from NVMC, off Salisbury, when I was a kid.
Amazing how fanhood develops – in the 80s, the local AHL team in Glens Falls was the Red Wings, so a lot of my friends developed that allegiance. (And of course now I get to choose between the Flyers and Devils AHL teams in Glens Falls and Albany if I feel like watching an AHL game.)
I may just have to root for the team that I hate the least, or start going to more college hockey games. Union, RPI and Skidmore are all within reason.
RPI is usually my first choice – my dad is an alum and I went to Big Red Freakout every year for like the first 17 years of my life and have only missed a couple since then – but they’re bleeding players like crazy right now. Which is in a way a compliment to the program, but also distressing for the on-ice product.
Union has done rather well lately, and a couple of my friends are alums, so I’ve been to a couple games each of the past few seasons.
I don’t know much about Skidmore’s current team – I typically follow their women’s team…
The Sound Tigers have games in December and March at Albany, but none at Glens Falls. So I know where I’ll be and who I’ll be rooting for on those two days!
Richmond, VA
I’m sure there are a few of us here… because when Richmond had hockey besides the obligatory RENEGADES jerseys there were always a few ISLANDERS jerseys loitering around the beer venders.
My cup is 3/4 empty, How 'bout yours?
I visited Richmond years ago. Do they still have the Braves Triple A team? To tell you how long ago it was, my dad always bought the newspaper for the lotto numbers and I was reading the sports section. I got a laugh out of how the writer for the Braves was treating this kid like he was the second coming. His name? Chipper Jones.
Dominik signed me for 20 years, and all I got was a press conference and a voided contract...
Contributor to Lighthouse Hockey not sure if I'm the Sniper or the Enforcer.
The Braves have been replaced...
…by the Flying Squirrels. In a move much like the LHP, Richmond city officials refused to allow the development of a dowtown area for a new state of the art baseball park. Their argument (much like those of the TOH) made sense when you stepped away from being a fan. This, however, cost Richmond the Braves and a year of baseball. The Squirrels are the AA affiliate of the SF Giants.
This is Redskin and Brave country. I’m not sure the people of Richmond even know that there is a baseball team in DC. And most of them can tell you Chipper’s stats when he was an R-Brave… not to mention there are a good number that can tell you the make, model and lic plate number of the car Bob Horner hit with his monster blast during a rehab stint in Richmond…
My cup is 3/4 empty, How 'bout yours?
The stadium looked beautiful when I walked by it, and popular, I think there were a lot of people BBQ’ing/Picnicing outside of it with their families. Surprised they didn’t let them develop it, it’s in a good spot and there didn’t seem to be a lot around it.
It doesn’t surprise me that people don’t care about the Nationals, but I suspect there will be a lot more fans in your area once they are actually good.

The Diamond...
Is more than adequate as far as ballparks go. It’s a good place to see a game and a great value. The trend for AAA teams is to build newer facilities with more commercial appeal in more densley retail populated areas. The games would then attract folks from the suburbs to spend a little scratch in the pre- and post- game hours. The baseball dynamic has lent itself to that as AAA is now a holding pen for major league talent, rather than a developmental league for guys almost ready for the major leages. So you can pay $5 to see somebody who has spent 5 years in the majors, but just doesn’t have the bat-speed, and pitch recognition to keep his WAR (I really hate baseball stat-o-matic fans) in line with the big club’s bean counters.
So.. to be honest, AA baseball in the old park is an even better value… and born and bred Richmonders like it also because when folks come down just to see baseball, if they are disappointed the greyhound terminal is right across the street.

If I said, “I saw a lot of drunks at the game” without qualifying the statement with, “I spent most of my time in the bar”, it would be rather misleading, don’t you think?

I would have been a Phis-loving yet sort of metal kid who was known to smoke funny stuff…I just loved hockey a little bit more so I played and watched all the time…there really wasn’t much time for anything else…however most of my friends could have been described that way. Anybody worth being friends with at that school could be described that way :-)
Yeah you might know Jason, then lol. He’s class of 98, but he had lots of friends in grades above him.
He came to a few Isles games with me once in a while, but never became the kind of hockey fan I did. At least he doesnt like the Rangers!
Let Us Go, Islanders! (Ever notice how strange that sounds without the contraction?)

Lighthouse Hockey: Trying to reconstitute the Hogue-Turgeon-Thomas line from NHL 94.
love it
Hey, I dont mind the miss, you put me in the real affluent part of town. I’ll take it, atleast I can fool you all that I don’ t live in a small 1 bed room apartment haha.
amazing work, Web!
If you could move me a couple of miles north, on the other side of those two golf courses, that would be about perfect. (I’m on the “wrong side” of the tracks, lol.)
82 days into my latest contract approval process
lol, it doesn’t have to be exact, as long as its the right city. Thanks!

Speaking of which...
If you could move me into the van down by the river, that’d be more accurate.

theres just waaaayyy too many people, way too many drunks, way too many idiots lol
idk how long its been since youve lived here but i still do and in the summer it just gets downright ridiculous
Yes, but do not contact each other...
…Until our agents contact you and provide the proper papers, security clearances, and top-secret assignment.
Lighthouse Hockey: You say that like Streit and Okposo and Schremp and Tavares and Wisniewski were important.
Can one of them move to Hamiliton?

Why not both to Hamilton?
Because let’s be honest, there really isn’t anywhere worth going besides the Toronto area.
Awaiting further instructions…

Astoria, NY
I love it here. So what if I have to move my car every other morning? And once a year I find a cockroach the size of a credit card? And my apartment makes Bender’s look spacious? I got mountains an hour North, beach to the East, a mad metropolis 3 subway stops away, and a vintage Bohemian beer garden in walking distance.
