Interested in a hockey writer?

So you've already dated hockey fans and you're not quite ready to take the leap and go all out puck bunny and pursue hockey players. So why not go for something in between - a hockey writer. All the perks of being close to the game, but they (normally) have all their teeth.

Interested in a hockey writer?

  • I hope you like: Exotic vacation spots such as Minneapolis, MN for the draft.
  • How to attract one: Ask him/her questions on Twitter. Also probably helps to like hockey and understand it.
  • The scoop: Dating a hockey writer has its perks – inside information, someone who wants to talk hockey for hours on end and not get frustrated with you. However, be prepared to have your schedule/plans dictated by any move made by the team he/she is covering.
  • Will it last? Perhaps. How do you feel about Winnipeg?
  • How to keep one happy: Be his/her number one fan at all times – even if you despise the team he/she is covering.
And yes - I do date a hockey writer - so I know what I'm talking about here.
