NHL Power Rankings: Rating the No. 1 Pest on Each Team

NHL Power Rankings: Rating the No. 1 Pest on Each Team
When it comes to NHL Power Rankings and ranking the best pest (sorry for the rhyme), it’s somewhat of a love-hate relationship. Different from true enforcers, though there are some fighters on this list, a pest is an irritant, someone who does best to get underneath the skin of the opposing team. They pick a target and do everything they can to rile them up, whether it’s a little tap behind the …

Travelling Worker Looks for a Way to Follow His Favorite Team

C.J. had started playing hockey for the first time when he was just five years old. His father had laced him up with his first pair of skates when he was just two and half years old, so he was ready to enter the league by age five. He had learned to skate on a pond in the family’s backyard that had some of the smoothest ice when it froze over in the winter. He and his brother would spend many winter afternoons playing with each other on the ice, working on their hockey skills. They were different ages, so they never played in the same league, but outside of the league they spent a lot of time in the winter playing with each other.

For one reason or another, C.J.’s favorite team in the NHL had always been the Montreal Canadiens even though the family didn’t even live in Canada. Naturally his brother’s favorite team was the Canadien’s rival, the Boston Bruins. This was just part of their sibling rivalry, but even though they fought and bickered a lot, they both shared the same passion for hockey. C.J. continued playing hockey up until college and then he just took the position as a spectator.

Over the course of his life he had travelled to many of the Canadiens hockey games, both in Montreal and in other cities around the United States. They had the most championships in the history of the NHL, and that was probably part of the reason that they were generally disliked by every other team. C.J.’s job took him to New Orleans where he was a coordinator for Habitat for Humanity after parts of the city were virtually destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.

New Orleans was very far away from Montreal and hockey in general. The climate was too hot and humid to really popularize the sport in the region. C.J. subscribed to a cable provider in the city, but the only hockey games that he could get, and it wasn’t always, were the Nashville Predators games. He wasn’t really interested in the Predators, so he gave up the extra money so that he could subscribe to the NHL package from his cable company that would allow him to watch the Canadiens play. This worked for a while until his job required him to start travelling around the country and leave his home in New Orleans.

He didn’t have a way for keeping up with his favorite team now that he had no permanent home. He also didn’t have any permanent internet as he was changing locales almost monthly. That was when he discovered mobile 4G broadband internet. This was similar to the 3G mobile broadband data networks provided by cellular telephone companies, except 4G was 10 times faster. He was able to follow his favorite team sometimes with a live internet feed, but sometimes he had to settle for an audio broadcast. Either way his mobile broadband internet could maintain an audio and video stream uninterrupted wherever he went. Being on the road, mobile internet was the only way to go and 4G was by far the fastest.
