I attended my first hockey game in Atlanta in the mid-'70s (Flames vs. ???), but I didn't really "discover" hockey until 1977, when I saw a clip on TV of the Los Angeles Kings' Marcel Dionne score a beauty of a goal after an amazing individual effort against the Detroit Red Wings.
Perhaps because I'm a lifelong champion of the underdog, I actually started following the Wings rather than the Kings, although I still counted Dionne as my favorite player (especially after I found out he was once a Wing). From there I discovered Guy Lafleur, Jari Kurri, Dino Ciccarelli, John Orgrodnick and, eventually, Steve Yzerman. Living in the U.S., it wasn't easy being a hockey fan. Living in Florida, it was damn near impossible. But I was hooked.

I got interesting Tampa Bay hockey while hanging around Atlanta during the late 80's and early 90's. As a follower of the Atlanta Knights IHL hockey team, when they became a minor league affiliate of Espo's expansion team in Tampa, I became an avid follower of Lightning hockey and their minor league prospects.
