Greetings from Atlanta
Saturday January 26, 2008 @ 12:49 PM EST
So first of all, I have to say that I’m happy and excited to be here at the NHL All-Star game. I got my start in hockey a long time ago, I’m one member of a lifelong sports and hockey family, but believe it or not, this is my very first NHL All-Star game.
Originally, Tony Danza used to have season tickets for the Los Angeles Kings, back in the day. And I used to go when he didn’t. But then, I wound up getting my own season tickets, and I have a brother who is 10 years younger than I am so he would come with me to some of the games.
He was big into all the players. I think some of the first games he ever attended, it was the year of Luc Robataille’s rookie season. And the Kings had Steve Duschene as well, and all these young guys eventually became his idols.
Actually, this was great – my brother met Cam Neely yesterday and he couldn’t eat for the rest of the night! He was a huge Neely fan as a kid, and obviously, still is today. He was so funny, it was like he was a little kid again. He’s 20-something now, but he still has his heros.
So while I’m here, I’m actually looking forward to a few things in particular; the fastest skater, for sure. And of course, the breakaway competition.
That’ll be great. I’m disappointed that Sidney Crosby isn’t coming, but there are so many other great players here, that there will definitely be some amazing things to see.
And of course there are other non-hockey related events that I’m looking forward to seeing. Like last night I attended the Wyclef Jean concert (which was amazing). I was also interested to see the Jonas Brothers, I’ve heard so much about them, but I had never heard their music. Their reception from the crowd was incredible!
That, and of course getting to see old friends, which is always nice. I actually bumped into Luc Robataille last night, and I haven’t seen Luc in probably 15 years. When he saw me, he said to me “I used to carry you around on my back!” because when I met him I was so little. When we spoke last night, I said “you know what? You were like my only high school friend. I never got to go to high school, so you’re like my only high school buddy!” He laughed.
That’s it for now. I hope you all enjoy the weekend, and if you’re in the area, I hope to see you soon!

Alyssa,
I am really happy to see you a hockey fan. I have always been drawn to your work. At first it was boy who had a crush on Sam, then it was your great work in films and finally Phoebe in Charmed that showed us your phenominal talents. I have a passion for hockey and I know now that there was a reason I liked you beyond the crush. Thank you for supporting our sport. I hope you had a blast at the NHL All-Star Weekend! Oh and if you are ever in Buffalo and want to go to a Sabres game.. Well, I know who could take you! wink 8)
