This past weekend, I was lucky enough to do an e-mail interview with SBN NHL Managerand DefendingBigD editor, Brandon Worley.
Brandon took time out of his busy schedule to tell us about how he got into hockey, got involved with DefendingBigD and SBN’s hockey section, as well as his thoughts on the Winter Classic and the upcoming Olympic games.
PH: How did you get into hockey?
BW: Growing up in Texas, we played some form of sports outdoors nearly every single day after school and on the weekends. This was at the time when videogames really started to get big, but I still loved nothing more than to play football outside with kids from the neighborhood. We played soccer, baseball, football, basketball…and even hockey. At that time (early 1990’s) it was just Wal-Mart sticks, tennis balls and makeshift goals. I didn’t even know the actual rules of hockey. But I loved playing the game.
This is going to sound odd, but “The Mighty Ducks” came along at the perfect time. I loved that movie, watched it non-stop. And then less than a year after that movie came out, the Stars came to Dallas. My whole family instantly became Stars fanatics and my brother and I played hockey as much as we could. We volunteered at home games in order to get free tickets and I was completely immersed in the sport. I’ve been following every Stars game since 1993 and I don’t plan on ever stopping.
