Has it Really Been 10 Years?
A lot has changed since the Griffins first took to the ice on Oct. 5, 1996. Back then, we knew all the moves to the “Macarena,” everybody was just getting to know – much less love – Raymond, the Yankees were about to win their first World Series in 18 years, and no one had ever been voted off an island or been compelled to eat a pound of hissing cockroaches. |

We proudly present this primer on each of the Griffins’ new foes and the towns that they call home. |
