someone who lives and breathes hockey. This would be someone who watches, plays, or talks about the act of playing hockey. When they come to school or work the next morning and have pointless discussions about the leafs and the habs and who won last night. They are very passionate about their favourite sport. They will do just about everything to a watch a hockey game, or even get on the ice for a bit of puck.
The Green Men (from Vancouver) They are prime examples of a hockey fan.

a guy or girl who doesn't give a rat's ass about hockey from october to march, but all of a sudden cares about who is in the playoffs once they start. and actually have the nerve to try and contribute to hockey conversations. much similar to posers. nothing pisses off a hockey fan more than someone who "doesnt like hockey" one minute, and sucking hockey's dick once a bluebird flies by the window.

BANDWAGON FAN - Hockey

1. Detroit Redwing fans all over the US and Canada, that are NOT from Detroit and never followed the Wings prior to the Wings recent cup wins! (NOTE: Fans since the "Dead Wing Era - 1967-1997" do not fall in the catagory of bandwagon)

2. The majority of People (but not all people) that cheer for the Redwings in an opposing arena.
