It’s April 13, but can you believe it’s already 2008? Eleven years ago today, the final Hartford Whalers game was played at the Hartford Civic Center. Hockey as we loved it ended, but Brass Bonanza and the great memories have lived on. The amazing thing is how the cult following behind Brass Bonanza has grown over the past few years. We want thank all of you who visit the site for your Whalers fix and hope you’ll keep coming back for many years to come. A special thank you goes out to those who have contributed content over the years – it’s folks like you who keep the site unique and fresh and for that we thank you!
During the off season, we’ll be cleaning out our archives and posting a number of pictures and sounds that people have sent us over the years (yes, we’re that far behind in getting things up on the site). We plan to finish the photo gallery and re-open the Whalers Team Store where unique Whalers items will be offered for sale. Stay tuned!
Just stumbled on the site. Great job…keep it going! Loooooongtime Whale fanatic (game 3 1992 semis vs. Montreal at the HCC anyone? Among others; one of the 5,000 in the building). Loyalties eventually went with the Cats of Sunrise due to location (and HATE the franchise currently stationed in NC…also a Southeast division thing), but always hoping the NHL gets back to where it belongs! BTW: I was also at FANiversary #1 and the final game as well. Get ’em back!
