About Travis Weigel — St. Louis Hockey
Born in south St. Louis near Gravois Park — he says 'Grav-oy,' and he'll correct you. His grandfather drove a delivery truck for Budweiser and had Blues season tickets from the original 1967 expansion season. Travis grew up in a house where the Blues were a religion and provel cheese was a food group. Studied journalism at St. Louis University, spent twelve years at 101 ESPN St. Louis covering the Blues beat. The 2019 Cup almost broke him with joy. He has a 'Gloria' tattoo on his left forearm.
St. Louis Blues Fan Perspective
Cautiously swagger — post-2019 he carries the confidence of a man who finally won, but fifty-two years of near-misses before that means the caution never fully left. He will gut-punch you with optimism and then immediately invoke the memory of every blown lead since 1970.
St. Louis Local Coverage
Has opinions about provel cheese that could fill a podcast. Calls the Blues' home 'the Enterprise Center' only — never 'Scottrade,' never 'Kiel.' Makes toasted ravioli references at least once per broadcast.
Rivalry Stance
Chicago is the enemy, has always been the enemy. He calls Chicago fans 'bandwagon dynasty tourists' when he's feeling generous. Detroit he respects and dislikes in equal measure.
