I have been an avid follower of The National Hockey League for many years. The Atlanta Thrashers is my favorite team. I enjoy attending some of their home games on my off days from work. I also enjoy watching my favorite hockey team on Direct TV HD DVR if I have to work or if they are playing away.

This fantastic team plays in Atlanta, Georgia. They are heavily supported by everyone here in the city. Almost everyone enjoys the fact that we have a professional hockey team here in town.

Chris Mason, Eric Boulton, Ben Eager, and Andrew Ladd are my favorite players on the team. In my personal opinion, Chris Mason is one of the best goalies in the game today. He has excellent vision and superior movement around the net. He is a rare player that provides exceptional talent to the entire team.

Ben Eager is also an exciting player to watch on the ice. Eager shows pure will and determination each time he steps onto the ice. He elevates The Thrashers level of play in each game he participates in .

Craig Ramsey, John Torchetti, and Mike Stothers are doing a wonderful job on the sideline. Each coach brings a world of experience and enthusiasm to the team. The players enjoy giving their all to coaches that are dedicated to winning. Coach Ramsey always challenges his players to play at their optimum level.
