Description:

I am just a girl that started watching hockey recently. I really did not know anything about the game except that the season was really long. I was in a long distance relationship, and it seemed that everytime that I was on the phone, he was either watching hockey, getting ready to watch hockey, or had just finished watching a match. I started watching it out of self preservation. What were we going to talk about if I did not know anything about it? First off I just watched the guys. Girlie thing, I am sure. One player caught my eye because he was interesting looking. That player was Eric Perrin. I learned his number so I could start watching him on the ice. Soon I became interested in what he was doing and began learning the game. Then I started going to games. There is nothing like hockey. The play is so quick, so physical. Being at the games you can feel the energy. The fans are alive with excitement! I have met so many wonderful people at the games some became good friends, some friends just for that game, but friends all the same. I become rather anal about things, so I did research about the game and it’s history and even bought the book “Hockey For Dummies”. I am now quite a fan. I still do a lot of research about the game and its players and you will probably see a lot of blogs here from me on the things I find out. I volunteer for the Lightning foundation, and attend as many of the practice sessions as I am able. I love the game, and am so happy to have been introduced to it. I am a Tampa Bay Lightning fan through the good times and the bad. I would love it if they won every game, but I know it is not going to happen. Like a mother to her naughty child, I would still forgive the transgressions and hope for better behaviour in the future. **I live in Hockey Bay USA and the Tampa Bay Lightning are my team!!**

I will watch Atlanta Thrashers to keep up with Eric’s performance, and I have a cat who is a Red wings fan! LOL

Favorite Players:

Who’s not to love?? Anyone in a Lightning Jersey, anyone playing against the Stinkin’ Panthers and Eric Perrin, as he will always be special to me for getting me interested in the game.
