OT: Age? (Want to get an idea of fanbase average age)

Pretty simple question, but I'm just curious of the average age of our fan base. With the success we've had in the late 90s and early millennium, and the fact that we didn't become a team until 1982, I would think we should have a relatively young fan base compared to the majority of the league.

I resent being placed in a category with 14 year olds :rant:

23

I'm 24, but I don't think the entire fan base is on HF - so I doubt that you will get a proper average fan age.

I just turned 22 last month.

Sorry, didn't try to offend you there. I was just splitting it up by 5 years (actually meant to put 15-19).

I know, but I was hoping to get 'enough' results to get a good idea. :) Currently writing a paper about the Devils and this information could provide to be useful.

At least two people that replied are older than me.

18 years....old enough to drink in Canada, eh!

18... yeah i was hoping for an 18-24 category to sound all big and grown up..

:yo::yo:

17 Next friday on Stevens night!!!

So, who's the grandpa on this board? :sarcasm:

21, I'll be 22 in nine days (Dec. 10th)

Turned 20 on Thanksgiving.

27

28.

26 :/

20 now, but only for another week and a half!

24....i think were are all somewhat in the same age catagory, which makes sense due to the Devils being a young org. We get a lotta crap about attendance and such, but people dont recognize that the devils were placed in a saturated hockey market.

In a couple of years when we all buy houses get married and really start to make some money, I feel our numbers will only increase, and I think Lou and co. know this. They have done everything like winning championships, new arena, great drafting to keep us involved and intereseted, when we were young to become diehards(at least I am and I know most of you are as well). The Devils Org was a Project and I think they knew it would take time for us to grow up with the team, and by them giving us all these great years we WILL BUY BACK INTO THEW TEAM.

Remeber most people in jersey and new york had like 5 other options for teams before we arrived NYR NYI PHI PIT and BUF....

That kind of what I was thinking. One reason I can't go to many games... I'm a broke college student. But once I get that real job, and don't have school work to worry about during night hours, than I'll be going a lot.

20. 6 and a half more months until I'm 21 and I'm counting down the days.

19

Yea, the devils have been a family team for awhile now, and the "kids" it seems are now around the college age. I'll be 21 in two months, and I am going to more games now then when I did years ago, mainly because I can buy tickets whenever I want and don't have to rely on my father to buy the tickets and drive.

19

Turned 18 in August.

I resent being placed in a category with 14 year olds :rant:

I resent being represented in the oldest 40% of the selections... :(

19

23.....

23

I'm 19 and my brother who is also a huge devils fan is 21

Wow. This poll explains alot.....

Your demographic is where the Devils need to focus alot more attention. You guys are the backbone of the team in the future. We old geezers will be fine (stock and real estate markets willing). YOU are where all those discounts ought to be going - not to NJ State employees and AAA members, where the average age is probably double yours. YOU need the unique experience to keep coming back - and with friends.

BTW, where are all the guys who couldn't fit their backsides into the seats with cupholders? I'm assuming they aren't the 20-26 crowd.

Well, I'm 23 and I have no problem fitting in the seat, my problem is jumping up when goals are scored. If I tried to, it would probably rip my leg muscles in half.

I know that everyone makes the argument about fatness, but what about when you've just got a wide frame and large leg muscles?

I've used this example before...

http://www.dopmagazin.com/elementi/20070909_010045Mirko%20cro%20cop.jpg

see those upper leg muscles? mine are probably slightly bigger because I'm shorter than he is...granted I know having leg muscles that big is a rarity but still there is no way I could make them smaller.

But again, I also don't complain about the ****ing things like some people like to. It is what it is, move on.

So, who's the grandpa on this board? :sarcasm:



:dunno:
I maybe one of the oldest here @ 39, but I am sure some one on here tops me.:p:


I also had no problems with the cup holders and was sad to see them go. God forbid we had something new and different in the new arena. Oh well.

Holy crap guys I feel old. :amazed:

I resent being represented in the oldest 40% of the selections... :(

Well if it makes you feel any better, I always though you had the maturity of an individual represented in the youngest 20% of the selections :sarcasm: :p:

I'm 24, but I don't think the entire fan base is on HF - so I doubt that you will get a proper average fan age.
Yeah, not only that you're bound to find a younger age group lurking on Internet message boards.

i put 20 although as of now i'm 19 but next saturday i'll in the 20-24

my birthdate is between Vishnevski and Brookbank

23

Well if it makes you feel any better, I always though you had the maturity of an individual represented in the youngest 20% of the selections :sarcasm: :p:

I cannot argue with this assessment.

I think we are all here for the long haul....thanks thoughj dually noting for anyone I missed thanks again:yo:

Thanks for the shout, Fire and Ice, I've been on the bandwagon since 1989, had some time to suffer before tasting the glory of victory. My first game was NJD-NYR at the Meadowlands. All my buddies back then were Ranger fans, because thier dads were, and we were 10, and I fell in love with the underdog Devils.
I have also gotten better taste in friends since then...;)

You know you're getting old when all your favorite athletes (at least the ones still playing) are younger than you.
<)-:**

18 years....old enough to drink in Canada, eh!

Not in Ontario..as far as I know, it's still 19 here. But that never stopped me, especially living really close to the Quebec border.

I'm 34 now...and have been a Devils fan for over 20 years now.

40 Here, Fan of the Devils for close to 25 years. Before that I was a Rangers fan. I still have one of those ugly Rangers polo shirts.
