Mike Perrone was fifteen when the Devils franchise came to New Jersey, and has been a fan ever since the team arrived.
"I was caught in between my friends [who] were either Islanders or Rangers fans, and I decided with my best friend to start rooting for the team that called New Jersey home."
Perrone grew up in Bergen County and now calls Hackettstown home.
"I'm proud to call New Jersey home. Like the Devils of past and present, we're always the underdog. When things get tough, we always come together like a big family and stick together to get through tough situations."
