Caniac #2 checking in here...I'm Shannon, aka sparkleshorty. I've been a Caniac for almost four years - getting totally hooked during that magical Cup run of '06. One of the best (and most expensive!) things I did for myself was become a season ticket holder. I am definitely not a hockey expert, but love the sport dearly! My other interests are college basketball (I bled Duke blue before I bled Canes red), reading, traveling, and hanging out with friends, and spoiling my two adorable nieces. I'm a Raleigh native but consider Hawaii my second home. That was the family vacation spot and I lived there for a year.

I hope you enjoy our blog. We're not really sure what direction it will take yet, but it should be a fun journey.
