Hello!
For those of you who haven’t read me before, my name is Katy, and I spent the best part of the 2010/11 hockey season falling deeply in love ice hockey and writing about my burgeoning affection and all its irrational nuances on this here blog. Which back then, was called ‘Confessions of a Hockey Novice’. Note the update. I am now a Hockey Nomad. This change was borne out of necessity following the loss of my beloved team, the Newcastle Vipers, but also as I now feel ready to shed my training wheels and go forth into the world of ice hockey to spread my love amongst anyone who is willing to listen. If it sounds a bit squelchy, I do apologise.
I hope you will come with me on the next stage of my journey. It will be mainly concentrating on the Elite League, and in the absence of a regular team to support it will comprise much conjecture and opinionating, at least 33% of which will be based on fact. The remaining 67% will be based on such fripperies as beard-length, celebrity lookalikes, gentle ribbing at the expense of anyone and everyone involved in the Elite League, and pure fantasy.
My disclaimer for anyone new to my hockey writing is this: I waffle. A lot. But there’s always a point in there somewhere, if you have a decent metaphorical spade to dig it out with. I obsess over facial hair. I am fascinated by violence. I am far too giving of my affection and as a result, I get far too attached to things. And I’m prone to the odd terrible illustration or superhero-related cartoon. But if you’ll forgive me these mild mental conditions, I’m sure we’ll all get along famously. (In short, please don’t leave me! It’s cold enough in here without a team let alone without any hits on my website!)
So without further ado I will move onto my first post of the new season. Even though the season hasn’t started yet. Come now, let’s not be picky. I have much speculation and idle gossip to impart! But first, a post about the nature of being a sports fan. Aaaaand.... GO!
