What's your name, hobbies etc...

I'll start you off:

My names John i'm 19 years old, i love Ice Hockey (i've been following the Blaze for three years now) I'm one of the loud ones at the back of block 2.

Other than watching ice hockey, i also play for the Coventry Chaos (i started training a couple of weeks ago) it's excellent fun.

I also love music, my favoruites being: Velvet Revolver, Guns n Roses, Greenday & Sterophonics. I recently went to see VR at the Birmingham NIA (they were excellent) Fingers crossed i'll be going to see them again in September in Belfast. I'm hoping to go and see the Stereophonics this year aswell.

Well, there's a bit about me - now it's your turn...

I like lots of different types of music, like my chemical romance, the explosion, fight star, and britney spears(!) to name a few..

[Steph Cowley]

I'm Steph(anie) i'm 17 yrs old.
I love ice hockey! Been following NHL for about 6yrs and this is my second season following Blaze (Went to all home games after Oct 11th last season and all but 1 home games this season) Not been to any away games yet but hoping too if not during the play offs then certainly next season. Would love to start playing hockey but gotta look into it abit more.
I also like football and support Yeovil Town and Crystal Palace.

I love movies. Horrors mainly but any really. Not into TV really, only CSI, CSI Miami and CSI New York, oh and Nip/Tick and Life as We Know It. All great shows.

Currently studying A Levels in 6th Form. English Lang. Photography and Media Studies. Hope to go to the New York Film Academy, New York after to do a one year screenwriting course.

Like music too.
Mainly My Chemical Romance, Greenday, The Rasmus and of course Steve Brookstein ;D

Think thats about it lol

[Rich]

Hi my names Rich and I am one of the louder ones at the back of Block 2. I really hate ice hockey (just joking by the way). I also love football and having nights out down Coventry City Centre or even in Belfast and Nottingham. You get everywhere supporting the Blaze. I have had one or two jobs since I left school which have been nothing special but have paid for my fun lifestyle of watching Coventry City and of course Coventry Blaze. I currently work as a cashier at a cash & carry. I am 18 years old but turn 19 next week. Thats all you need to know about me.

[PW]

What hasn't already been said?

I'm Paul (known as Wheeler or PW to the majority of people on here though) and I'm a ripe old 20. From Kent originally (Gillingham), but I have lived 19 years and 9 months of my life in the Sky Blue City. After four years of being a fan of the Blaze, I was delighted and privileged to be asked this past summer to help John in the audio box during Blaze games-I now prepare, record and play all the music you'll hear on a matchnight at the Skydome (with input from John and the fans being the major considerations, but if I don't like it, I won't play it) and that is where you'll find me at home games for at least this season-whether I'm still there afterwards depends on my going to Germany as part of my French and German uni course from Coventry. I hope I'm not being too big-headed in saying that I am among the most well-known figures among Blaze fans through my liking of noise, jokes, and habit of travelling to every away game, except when it clashes with home Phoenix or Chaos games...
I play for the Chaos after joining the junior system when it was set up at the age of 17, and am proud to be one of the 'formative' group of members of the team. I also am involved with the Coventry Phoenix (and proud to be so) in the capacity of match-night announcer, which I volunteered to do after myself and other Chaos players went training with the team for the few months after they set up.
Amongst the many great friends I've made through watching hockey at the Skydome I count most of the people who travel away regularly (in greater or lesser degrees), the North End Nutters and most of Block 2 (especially Whiskey) being prominent among them, as well as the Chaos and Phoenix players and staff. I am, however, somewhat of a target for good-natured banter, which adds to the great experience of watching the Blaze.
Musically, I like most things-if you want an idea of the type of music I like the most, then simply listen on match-nights-all the music played is played because I like it (except for some of the ingame stuff, played because I reckon it'll set people off, and the pop mixes which were created by John), although I also have an introspective side which surprises many. 'Favourite' bands include the Killers, Fightstar, Iron Maiden, and All American Rejects, with artists ranging from Dido to Peter Gabriel also on my metaphorical MP3 player. To list all the artists I like would take pages, but classic and 90's rock figure highly amongst my tastes, with the odd love-song in there as well...

As for other sports, I'm a follower of the mighty Gillingham FC, the not-so-mighty Pittsburgh Penguins, and have been introduced to the great sport of speedway through the Coventry Bees. I'm also partial to the odd visit to the Dog and Trumpet, although I'm not one of those who can party all night, every night.

I've rambled too long already now, so should anyone still be curious, you'll have to get to know me in person

[Blazing Kate]

Right well im Katy/Kate (whatever you want to call me), im a 15 year old short arse (5ft 3" ) but being short rocks!

Anyway, obviously i like Blaze and ive been to every home game this season and a few away. I stand at the back of block 2 on the... right side of the pillar ( as if you were looking down towards the ice) wearing a Calder shirt (you really cant miss me!)

I can be extremely mad, just ask my mates, especially if ive been drinking coke, dont ask why, im fine with alcohol, but coke...

As far as other hobbies are concerned im very sporty, doig what ever sport i feel like, but mainly horse-riding, netball, badminton etc.

I have a tendency to do the strange things in life, like being locked out of a coach toilet and being run over by a black cab (resulted in concussion btw so no-one laugh!) and also managing to fall up and down stairs- including at cardiff (during which i managed to head-butt a very scary, important looking woman!)

Anyway... music wise i like a lot but main favourites are the killers, my chemical romance, guns n roses, lost prophets, etc you get where im going!

well that about it from me!! if anyone wants to talk to me please do, i dont bite.... normally! ;D

[Claret & Blue Army]

Je m'appelle Steve

Not sure what I am doing here as I thought this was a basketball forum. For the past 5 years I have attended the Skydome wondering when those slippy skaters will finish early to watch the really tall people throw a ball aroun........Not really

I have been a follower of the Blaze home and away from early on in the initial year. Believe me when I say that for the first couple of seasons I was incredibly quiet...and then I met PW
Since then have become recognised in great detail as being the loud guy who has no shame in starting any chant sober or quaffing. It is a little disconcerting at times though when I don't know everybody who speaks to me about stuff so make an attempt to find out about the regular people quickly.

Fave football team is the mighty Claret and Blues from Gods garden known as Villa Park.

Also enjoy reading (Mainly sporting autobiographies but have branched out in the past few years to other fields, entertainment politics etc) That said I also enjoy reading fact/trivia based stuff to enhance my existing knowledge...such that it is

Enjoy collecting and watching dvds/film and am somewhat of an expert with the official 007 series.

I work as a Credit Analyst (Which is exactly as it says), but have also gained money from my acting endeavours from time to time. A long time thespian with a few tours of Ireland under my belt as a performer. On this track I have also had experience of directing and writing plays.
This all helps with my general activities particularly on road trips as into the stand up entertainment zone along with the comedy double act partner that is PW

My musical tastes are as broad ranged as possible (Mozart to Girls Aloud that sort of thing ;D) I used to be a DJ for many years hence the wide taste range.
Main fave is Gwen Stefani as if you couldn't guess

Also love my television including the ITV soaps, reality tv shows (Which ties in with a long standing interest in psychology)

I have an interest in politics itself and would declare myself to be a sort of centre right/christian democrat pigeon hole.

Enjoy chilling on the pc with strategic/building games although my fave is the Horse racing one "Starting Orders"

Also watch rugby and speedway following the Coventry teams in their pursuit of glory

Favourite foods are Chinese and Indian

I have a tattoo of a devil on my left bicep and a well formed lower body and back. Working on the front at the gymnasium in town

I am one of the 3 drummers of the b2p which is where the noise is at. Prior to the b2p being as it is today used to be in Block 15 (When that used to be noisy)

To finish off I will summarise that although the above is just a brief snippet of what goes on in the Chiefs mind I do have an opinion on pretty much everything and always try to see everybodys point of view (Even though sometimes some people do make it very hard

[covunistudent]

Hmmmmm OK then my real name is David, and I am 21 years old. As my name suggests I go to Coventry Uni. Yes I chose to live here. I do BSC Computing. I am now in my 3rd year of this course. I am orignally from Wolverhampton so I support Wolves. However due to adverts on Kix (the radio station) I was persaded to go and see Coventry Blaze. First match against Cardiff Devils on Sunday February 22nd 2004, and second and final match (so far) was on Saturday 5th February 2005 which was also against Cardiff, so this is my 2nd season of following ice hockey. I hope to go to more matches in the future. First match sat in Block 11, and second match standing up. I might as well say it as everyone else has but I love ice hockey ;D although football remains my number one sport. I am 5''8' (not exactly what you would call tall then.) I don't play for any other teams, as the uni football team didn't accept me (and have therefore retired from club and international football.) I can't ice skate to save my life so theres no chance of me ever getting a game for Blaze. I used to have 2 pet goldfish (names Cake and Biscuit) but they died. I chose the names if you're wondering. ;D ;D 5 pet hamsters have all died one after another, first 4 all called Harry, and the last one called Snowy. Then I had a pet rabbit called Jaspa, but um oh yea hes died as well. I currently don't have any pets at the moment. My favourite pets were Jaspa, Harry (the second hamaster,) and Biscuit. Mainly hang around in Coli, Icon, Jumping Jacks, Phoenix, the Oak Inn, and Cov Uni Student Union. I once got knocked over by a bike (not one of the motor vertity but a kids bike.) Actually I was shocked by it, and even now even if theres no car in site, I refuse to cross a road if theres someone riding on a bike towards me. Hobbies are football, swimming, listening to music (although thats mainly stuff I hear on the radio, i.e. chart music) and going out to places I've already mentioned like Coli, Icon etc.

Um thats about it.

Reading the other posts with interest. PW do you go to Cov Uni.

[Laura]

Hia.

I also enjoy the Ice Hockey and love going to the away game including Scotland and Belfast!
You'll find me at the back of block 2 with John, Ali and all my mates - Im the quiet one

As for music i like Phantom planet, Marroon 5, Britney Spears (woo!) and Velvet Revolver - I went to see them live at the NEC with john and again soon at the Odessy

That's a little about me...

[hatman dave]

howdy i'm dave, I'm the one with THE hat and a drum that stands on the right side of block 2 as you look at the ice. I'm into ice hockey (obviously), most rock music and winding racers/squealers/devils players up. Fishing amongst other fans is fun too ;D.

I've been going out with debz (another one who stands at the back of block 2 and is apparently going deaf coz of the drums ) for over two years now.

At the time of writing this I'll be 18 in a whole two days (woooo).

I'm probably not gonna be in cov much for next season coz i'm going to sheffield uni, but will hopefully get a season ticket for their away block (with a banner saying 'anyone but the squealers').

Thats all I can be bothered with for now, but feel free to come and chat to me in nottingham if you're going - i'm the one in the top-hat
