DISCO STU



Disco Stu

Check out Disco Stu on the ProSportsBlogging.com Podcast from 10/15/2011 

Disco Stu has been a hockey fanatic since he attended his first game back in 1971, an ugly tilt between the Penguins and the Bruins which was won in big fashion by Boston that night.  He instantly became a fan of not only of the Bruins and the Penguins that night but of hockey in general, a love that he still carries to this day (Okay, his fondness for the Bruins quickly evaporated once he began attending high school in New England and due to the obnoxiousness of all Boston sports fans, he has been turned off to all things Boston sports since then). 

After attending a second game during the ’71/’72 season and seeing a hat trick scored by Jean Pronovost, he adopted the future member of the Penguins’ Bi-Centennial line as his favorite and continues those feelings today even being lucky enough to meet his idol at the final game at Mellon Arena and getting him to sign his Pronovost jersey.
