The Last & First

While digging through some of our archives we came upon these historical gems, ticket stubs from our last Hartford Whalers game and first Hartford Wolfpack game. The Whalers won the clash 6-3 against the arch-rival Bruins. While the Whalers weren't a good team at this time the Bruins were even worse having just traded Bill Ranford, Adam Oates, and Rich Tocchet for Jason Allison, Anson Carter, and Jim Carrey and on their way to last place and drafting teen phenom Joe Thornton #1 overall.

Twitter Graveyard

With the advent of Facebook and Twitter, at some point someone had to ask, what happens to dead people's pages? It's a grim question but one that ultimately has to be dealt with. From what we understand Facebook is allowing the families of the deceased to decide whether to keep a page up as a "legacy page."

Less grim and more fun are pages of now defunct brands. We happened to come upon the still existant, but dormant Twitter feed of Hartford's now rebranded AHL team the Hartford Wolfpack.

Sonar the Wolf: Battling Unemployment

There was a lot of positive buzz this past weekend regarding the Whale's return to Hartford. And while while we are happy about the direction our minor league hockey franchise has taken, we cannot forget the little people who have been impacted by the change.

The Sad City Hartford cameras tracked down Sonar the Wolf, former mascot of the Hartford Wolf Pack. Sonar told us what he has been up to since he lost his job to Pucky the Whale.

Does anyone want some ironic Hartford Wolf Pack merch?
