At the time, there was little to no NHL Games report in Germany. There was a weekly format called NHL Power Week on Deutsches Sport Fernsehen and some selected games were broadcast on Premiere PayTV.

Other than that, we only had a weekly magazine called Eishockey News.

From 1995 I attended hockey games in Germany of the Nuremberg Ice Tigers. Roman Turek was our goalkeeper who would have a great NHL career with Dallas, Calgary and the Blues. Later we had Steven Reinprecht there. His number now hangs under the rafters. When I visited one of my first games in 1995, I saw a few fans in the stand wearing jerseys other than Ice Tigers jerseys. They wore NHL jerseys. I remember asking my cousin, “Heiko, what

are these sweaters? Those are NHL jerseys from America. “Do they play hockey there too? “Yes, you can read about it in Eishockey News, I have a subscription. You can get my number every week after I read it.

At the time, there was no Google or EliteProspects yet, so I started reading. I read about German players like Uwe Krupp, Ollie Kolzig and later Marco Sturm and Jochen Hecht. With my new knowledge about the existence of hockey outside the Deutsche Eishockey Liga, I started investigating and after Uwe had scored the now famous goal, I said to my parents: I know him, I am a fan of him, I am a fan of the Colorado Avalanche. I need a sweater!

Meanwhile, my mom bought two hockey games for my GameBoy. One was NHL 95, the other was Blades of Steel. I inserted NHL into my GameBoy, selected “Play now and started looking for my newest favorite team, I searched and searched …” Mom, this game is worthless, there is no avalanche !! I did not know that the Nordiques were indeed in the game.

Back to my Jersey wish. Even back then, there was a store in the United States in Nuremberg selling sweaters. They had NBA jerseys from Jordan and Pippen and some NFL jerseys as long as flags and scarves from different soccer teams. But nothing from the Avalanche or any other NHL team. Disappointed, my mom invited me for an ice cream at the nearby Karstadt market. Unexpectedly, they had NHL stuff there! In addition to the Jaromir Jagr Pens Jersey and some Jerseys without name and numbering, there was also an Avalanche Jersey and an Avalanche Starter Jacket. “I really want this sweater !! “100 dollars for a sweater is too much, boy. Where are you going to wear it? Every day! “No, that’s too much. But you can have the jacket if you want. Better than nothing!”

I proudly wore my coat to school every day (and later got the sweater). Shortly after I got my first non-IceTigers jersey, a friend of mine called me from Calgary. They have a sweater here. It is the same logo as on your jacket. Do you want it? “Sure! I’ll give you the money as soon as you get back to Germany. I didn’t even ask for the price or if there was a name on the jersey.

That’s how I got my first real sweater. Joe Sakic’s White Dan Home Shirt. As time went on, we finally got the internet and read everything I could. I have bought every NHL game for Playstation and still do.

The internet was getting faster and faster and I was finally able to watch a few games per streaming.

Sometimes those streams were really bad. There were delays, sudden connection errors or the quality of the streams was so bad you can’t see anything. I still remember the 2001 Playoffs. At work I called my mom and asked if she could watch the CNN teletext and tell me the results of the evening. During the final I camped with my girlfriend. We had a TV there and highlights were shown on German TV a day after the game. I tried my best not to see any result beforehand (which wasn’t too complicated) but after game 7 my friend sends me a text I think they won! I stormed out of the tent screaming.
