I met some of the most important people in my life because of hockey.

I went to my first hockey game in 1999.  I had just broke up with my boyfriend and a friend invited me to a game.  I thought " I won't like hockey but it is better than sitting at home alone"

I met my best friend that night and have been going to hockey ever since.  I started going to baseball with my friend from hockey and met my husband.   We became friends going to sports together and got married last month.

I also met the best mascot in the CHL at hockey,  Thunder dog.  He doesn't say much but he can crack me up with a look.  :)
