Graham Hathway

Saint Winged Wheel

I'm Graham, and I'm a guy born and raised in Toronto who discovered the Wings in the late '80s to the disappointment of my Maple Leaf-loving father. When I was 25, I decided I needed to put myself through more misery by moving to Chicago and immersing myself among Blackhawk fans. The Red Wings have a place in my heart bigger than almost anything, with the exception of my family and closest friends.
