I follow all the California teams.  The teams are here because we enjoy watching hockey and are willing to pay for it, unlike a lot of backwater areas with colder weather.  Sharks are the home team and I have a partial season ticket package.  Kings and Ducks were on TV every night when I went to school in San Diego, so I became familiar with the franchises, and will root for them if the Sharks are out.  Face it, California sports teams OWN.
