Jess goes to Hockeytown

Toast of Hockey Town Part I

My friend Jessica just started up a hockey blog. She's a Red Wings fan and she wrote about meeting some of her favorite hockey players at a charity event. I love the way she writes because it's so entertaining. But I also thought that people might want to see how a lot of female hockey fans see the players.

I tend to be a bit more aloof when writing about them - intentionally, of course. Not always, but most of the time. I grew up at a time and in a place where women weren't taken seriously if they liked sports no matter what, so it's kind of a knee-jerk reaction to write that way. If I were to gush about how good looking a guy is all the time, along with writing about the sport seriously, I don't know, it makes me feel like I'm undermining my own credibility. I know that I'm not, but it's kind of an ingrained thing with me at this point.

Jess blends both a keen hockey knowledge and being a woman appreciating good looking men in a way that I don't think I'll ever manage to do. So if you want to see how female sports fans really are, and be entertained thoroughly by it, go read a bit of her blog. Part II is forthcoming, I believe.

I'm soo jealous that she got to meet Yzerman.
