Welcome Circular Theory to the Wilderness

You have all met Circular Theory. He was instrumental in our draft pick preview series, and has been very active in the fan posts on the sidebar. CT brings a strong prospect perspective, and has accepted an offer to join the Hockey Wilderness front page team.

We are very excited to have him on board, so make sure you welcome him in a way that only the Wilderness can.

In case you forgot who he is:

Daniel Chan

Age: 21

From: Hong Kong, China

Yes, Hong Kong. The little island 15 flight hours away from the USA. To add to the confusion, I also grew up in Singapore, another small Asian island. One might ask, "Is there even hockey there" and my answer would be "Yes, but the rink in Singapore is half the size of your rinks in North America". I began my hockey lifestyle in Singapore, watching my father play forward in a type of beer league. I would soon learn to love the goalie position, playing non-stop, even till now.

Another question one might ask is, "Why are you a Wild fan?" and the answer is quite simple and primitive, "I loved the color green". But after I started to follow the Wild five years ago, I transformed from being an Asian kid who plays hockey to a diehard Wild fan. I loved the 2003 playoff run that had David defeat Goliath, I loved the defensive style of play, and I loved the underappreciated Minnesotan fan support.

Currently, I am studying in Rhode Island, surrounded by a plethora of Bruins fans. However, I will not succumb and will continue to supporting the Wild. Living in Asia, I have found means to follow every single Wild game and ways to keep track of Wild prospects as they develop and will continue doing so in Bruin land.

I have created my own blog dedicated to the Wild';s prospects, in which I hope to share my burning interest in potential Wild players. My site can be found at http://circulartheory.blogspot.com/ and features my insights in the Wild prospective players. I hope to continue entertaining my fellow Wild fans and look forward to writing up more articles to please the crowd!

Again, welcome to Dan, CT, Circular, or however you wish to refer to him. His perspective is a most welcome one, both for us here at Hockey Wilderness, but also should be for the readers as well. Count on him to chime in with more than just prospect posts as well.

Welcome Dan. Welcome, indeed!
