My Definition:
Crazy hits, amazing plays, rowdy crowds, and amazingly hot guys!
So you want to be a hockey fan?
AWESOME!
Here are some things you need to know:
- We don’t do quarters or half times. We have three 20 minute periods of awesomeness. In between , there are two 20 minute intermissions.
- Please do not wear a short little skirt and low cut top, you will freeze. Diehard fans like me will look are you like you are crazy too! Make sure to wear something warm and in team colors.
- More than likely you will see a fight. These are amazing, enjoy it. Hopefully, someone will draw blood.
- The Hat Trick is when a player scores 3 goals in the game. When this happens, everyone usually throws their hats on the ice. At the Bridgestone Arena, after the game you can go buy your hat back and the money you give goes to charity.
- A penalty is when a player does something they’re not supposed to. This will happen quit often and usually leads to a power play for the opposing team.
- A power play is when one team has a one man advantage while the other team is one man short because he serving his penalty.
- Hockey fans are loud. So be ready for that.
- It’s very fast paced. Keep your eye on the puck and scream your little heart out.
- It gives people a reason to go out and drink on a Wednesday.
- Before you ask, that big machine thingy that is cleaning the ice is called a Zamboni. Yes, you should want to ride it. It’s so awesome.
- When the puck is in play, don’t get up and go to the bathroom. For one, its rude, people are trying to watch the game. Plus, what if the puck comes into the crowd and, since you’re the highest, you get hit in the head?
- Your boyfriend/husband will think you are amazingly hot. It’s a turn on to go to a game with a woman that enjoys the awesomeness of hockey. Just ask my husband. If I was a Red Wing Fan, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to keep him off me.
Now here is the most important thing you need to know.
The Nashville Predators is the best team in the league. You should cheer for them!
Author Bio
I am a wife, mother, and hopeless romantic.
I have been told I have anger issues, but I think
it’s cause of my intense love for hockey!
I am the biggest Shea Weber fan ever, and can be
found during hockey season with my nose pressed against the Bridgestone Arena’s
glass, watching my Nashville Predators play!
When my nose isn’t pressed against the glass, I
enjoy going to my husband and son’s hockey games, my daughters dance
competition, hanging with my best friends, taking pictures, and reading the
latest romance novel.
I love things that sparkle, I love the color pink,
and did I mention I love hockey?

Title: Taking Shots
Author: Toni Aleo
Date Published: 10/5/2011
Synopsis:
Elli
Fisher has never thought she was good enough. Let it be her job, her weight,
her love life, nothing, she was convinced she couldn’t do anything right. She
had walked through life for the past six years in a daze, never thinking that
life could be good again after the abuse she endured from her ex boyfriend. She
is lonely, sad, and depressed, that is until she meets Shea Adler. After doing
a promotional shoot for the NHL team, the Nashville Assassins, she meets the
hunky hockey player who shoots a puck, shattering her world.
Shea Adler was tired of the life he was living outside of the rink. The girls, the money blowing, the drinking, everything had to stop and it all did when he met Eleanor Fisher. He had never met anyone like her. She is feisty, witty, shy, and simply gorgeous. When he laid eyes on her, it was as if he was taking the hardest hit of his life into the boards, and he had to have her.
Elli is a little skeptical of Shea, but he knows that they were meant to be together, and he needed her in his life. But Elli just doesn’t understand what Shea could see in her. She is overweight, loud, and not even that pretty, so why would someone so gorgeous and so amazing want to be with her? It seemed that no matter how hard she tried to shake Shea off, he wasn’t going anywhere, and for the first time Elli didn’t feel alone.
But could Elli throw her insecurities out the window and love Shea with everything inside of her? Or will she let a past relationship, and her family ruin any chance of her being happy?
Would Elli miss her shot at love?
