About Me

Oh boy. How do I describe myself? I know I'm a flawless god of a human being, but how do I put it modestly...

I am aged somewhere in my 20s. I have lived in both Canada and the United States. I played hockey when I was younger, but had to quit because "GIRLS CAN'T PLAY ICE HOCKEY!" at least where I lived at the time. I can't do anything with a stick or a puck now, but at least I can still skate.

Though I will try to be non-biased on here, my favorite team is the Detroit Red Wings (born in Michigan. When people ask me why I'm a 'bandwagoner' I ask them to take a good look at Michigan's other teams and see what they would choose to support). I also have a bit of fondness for the Vancouver Canucks, Montreal Canadiens, and Toronto Maple Leafs. I don't really have a second favorite team (yet), that all depends upon what city I end up moving to in the future, I guess.

I am extremely biased when it comes to my favorite players, as they mostly all come from the Red Wings. Outside of the Red Wings, I do appreciate Carey Price, Roberto Luongo, Henrik Lundqvist, Ryan Kesler, Matt Duchene, Patrick Kane, and Tyler Myers. Oh, and Steve Yzerman, or Jesus Y, as he is known, but since I am from Michigan, you probably could have deduced that.

When I am not thinking/writing/living hockey, I like to read or play video games. I also like writing and pretending someone will eventually care about/pay for my stories, but I try to keep it in perspective. I obviously won't make a billion dollars like JK Rowling. I'll probably only make a measly million.

I spell it 'grey' and it is correct, stupid Microsoft Word.

Welcome!

I guess this functions sort of as a "What is this?" post. Well, here you go:

My name is Kit. I like hockey. A lot. I've seen numerous hockey blogs--and some of them done by women for women--but many of them were either puckbunny blogs or not updated frequently. So I decided to take a crack at it.

This blog will be a listing of hockey news with commentary. And humor too. I'm not going to sit here and write an essay about the statistical probability of whether or not the Maple Leafs will make it to the playoffs this year. Despite the fact that there are a couple teams I don't like very much, I won't taunt or rant about them. Trying to keep it neutral up in here. I also won't post about which ten hockey defencemen I would like to bang. (Though I may occasionally mention my love for Swedes...)

I just want to keep it simple and to the point. Hockey a flawless sport of real men, and it is conveniently long-seasoned so I should have enough material to work with.

That is the description of this blog that the English major in me dictated, and now here's for the real description:

I LIKE HOCKEY. HOCKEY IS THE GREATEST SPORT KNOWN TO MAN. THIS BLOG IS ABOUT HOCKEY, IF YOU DIDN'T GET IT BEFORE. DID I MENTION I LIKE HOCKEY?

ALL PRAISE TO LORD STANLEY.
