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?

Dude, 90210 likes hockey?!?
Seems weird, but whatever. 5th rows not bad, huh haha my seats are in sec 104 so we’re kinda in the corner. We got the 4 seats next to us also so if you saw 4 adults, 2 kids and 2 newborns, that was us ha as crazy as that sounds, it really wasn’t as hectic as you would expect. The rest of the season will just be the 2 seats and I’ll have them a third of the time.
I don’t know what the Kings are waiting on with Hickey, I mean seriously, how terrible did Preissing look all night? Pull the trigger on the kid, I think he would do fine

Hey
Wish I would have checked this before Sunday I would have kept an eye out for you ha… When did you move down here? Was it time to get out of Washington? Thomas Hickey hitting the line up just got a little closer with Jack Johnson going down for up to 3 months, although it looks like they’d rather he finish out the year in the W

I will be
at the Kings home opener tonight vs the Sharks! Center ice, row 5, in a Sharks jersey. My first game as a resident of the City of Angels. Although I refuse to be a Kings fan until Thomas Hickey hits the line-up. Word.
