Anyone else have multiple old issues of The Hockey News (especially the draft issue) or sports sections taking up room ?

I just took a couple of boxes from my parents place, and it's fascinating to read up about the 1996 draft or about how Patrick Roy was finally coming into his own in 1991, despite various highs and lows. Fascinating to keep, impossible to justify keeping, but can't make myself put them in the recycling bin, either...

When did ignorance become a point of view?

I got rid of a lot of my old ones only a couple of months ago. Like you, I liked to read the draft issues. I will have a look to see if I have any THN left & let you know here.

Had boxes and boxes until i got tired of hauling them around when I moved.
