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. And though their paychecks might not be as high as actual hockey players, you can rest assured knowing Marriott (or Hilton) points and frequent flier miles galore are in your future for all your vacation dreams.

Inspired by The Active Stick's Your Guide to Dating a Hockey Fan, I give you...

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.

Great Player. Great Seats. Great Cause.

How would you like a chance to watch the Philadelphia Flyers from the Ice Row. Hear the crack of every stick. Feel the glass rumble as the Flyers check their opponents in the boards. Be up close to the celebration when they score a goal.

How would you like to help children fight cancer?

For over three years, Danny Briere’s organization, The Briere Bunch, has been raising funds (to the tune of $100,000 so far) for children dealing with cancer through the sale of autographed hats, donating all proceeds to charities in New York, Pennsylvania and Canada.

For a limited time, you can purchase a Briere Bunch hat, personally signed by Danny Briere, and be entered to win two Ice Row tickets to see the Philadelphia Flyers take on the Washington Capitals on March 22, 2011. The seats are located in section 103, where the Flyers shoot twice, so you’ll get front row seats to see Danny taking shots against the Capitals. Plus, each ticket is loaded with a $25 credit that you can use for food, drinks or fan gear. The tickets also include reserved parking in a Wells Fargo Center lot.

Each hat is $30 and all proceeds are donated to charities that help fight cancer. You have your choice of adult or youth sizes. For every hat you purchase, you’ll be entered to win the tickets. Hats are shipped out within two weeks of your purchase.

This offer is only available until March 15, 2011, so visit The Briere Bunch site today at https://www.brierebunch.com/. You can also purchase a hat at the upcoming Flyers Wives Fight for Lives Carnival on Sunday, February 27, 2011. The winner will be contacted on March 16, 2011.
