Description:
Hi, I’m Lauren. My story isn’t like most hockey fans you know. I’m not Canadian. I’m not even from a hockey state. I don’t come from a hockey family, and I’m pretty sure no one in my immediate family could tell you what color the blue line is. I didn’t grow up with the game. You should see me on skates… like a cat in a bathtub. I don’t have any cute tales of my dad shooting pucks at me in our basement, or playing some shinny with the neighbors on the backyard pond. In fact, where I’m from the temperature drops below freezing probably twice a year. I live in a city that is crazy about its football and baseball. Somehow despite all this, I evolved into a fanatic who would sleep through winter if it weren’t for hockey season, and who requests Saturdays off work just to watch Hockey Night in Canada. I am a hockey fan. “How?” everyone asks me. Well let’s just call it love at first puck-drop. Passion over function. Who says true love doesn’t exist?
Favorite NHL Team:
Toronto Maple Leafs
Favorite Sports/Teams:
Leafs (Don’t Stop BeLEAFin), Flames, Nucks, Sharks, Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL), and Seattle Mariners (MLB).

And I show extra support for any boys from the Dub. No whiners, no sell outs.
