The new highlight of my rather short blogging career comes from The Hockey News. On February 1st they published a column called
How the New NHL Looks to a Soccer Mom (And Why You Should Care). Number five on this list included yours truly:
5. The NHL Blogosphere Has Zest. CasonBlog is stylishly witty,
and Battle of Alberta’s “Beard Talk” post had me LOL during the
playoffs. But the Acid Queen and God Send Jen show that female fans can
hold their own.
For the most part I think of this site as my personal soap box. My impassioned speeches about what was wrong or right with my teams amused my friends. When one of them pushed on why I didn't have a site of my own (given that I make my living from professional web endeavors) I caved and started this site. I never expected people who didn't already know me to find this site, and I certainly didn't expect the random emails I get from women who love hockey that thank me for "showing the world that not all female hockey fans are
puck bunnies". To Marsha Bryant and The Hockey News, thanks for the compliment. I'm beyond flattered and I promise the check is in the mail as soon as I get your address.
