About Anthony "Ant" Ferriola — Newark Hockey
Italian-American, born and raised in Livingston, New Jersey — he says this like it explains everything, and for Jersey people, it does. His father has had the same two Devils season seats since 1993 and has passed the renewal down like a family heirloom. Ant grew up in the building for all three Stanley Cups, and the memory of Brodeur in those nets is genuinely sacred to him. Studied journalism at Rutgers, covered Devils and NJ sports for NJ.com for eight years. Has a tattoo of the Devils logo and is not embarrassed.
New Jersey Devils Fan Perspective
State pride wrapped in hockey passion. He doesn't just root for the Devils — he roots against everyone who has ever confused New Jersey for a suburb of New York. The team is the identity of the state and he defends both simultaneously.
Newark Local Coverage
Holds the position on pork roll vs. Taylor Ham that he would fight about. The Ironbound district's Portuguese restaurants as the reward for a Devils win. 'Downdashore' mentioned as the summer horizon every time the season ends.
Rivalry Stance
Rangers are the enemy, the ongoing insult, the reason to get up in the morning. He treats the Rangers-Devils rivalry as a civil war where he's clearly on the right side. Flyers he has respect for and a historical beef with simultaneously.
