Taj Shuib, 48, was introduced to hockey as a fifth grader going to Dunbar in North Philadelphia. His teacher wanted them to learn something new, so they started playing hockey in gym. He loved it. Perfect timing, too, because this was in 1986, not too long before the Flyers went on their 1987 run to the Stanley Cup Final where they heartbreakingly lost to the Edmonton Oilers in seven games. KYW's Dave Uram has more on the Philly Sports Fan of the Week.
