WELCOME!

So, the day after the Chicago Blackhawks win the 2013 Stanley Cup may seem like a strange time to START a hockey blog, but why not? Admittedly, there probably won't be too terribly many posts until next season starts, but sometimes you have to just jump in head first if you want to do something! What I want to do is be a hockey writer! I have only been watching hockey for 3 years and I am absolutely obsessed with it! Hockey literally saved my life! I won't get into detail on that now, but long story short, depression sucks!

This blog will focus mainly on the Chicago Blackhawks (because they are my favorite team), but I will occasionally do stories on other teams as well. I will fit as much of the technical numbers in as I can stand for those of you that like that stuff, but this will be more about what happened in the games and how the fans react to it. I will also occasionally interview fans, male and female (but usually female, this IS "Real WOMEN Love Hockey" after all!) to find out what THEY want to know more about, what they don't understand about the game, what rules bug them, which players they love and which players they love to hate! I hope to be in a position at some point to actually interview players as well...it may be a pipe dream, but if you're not dreaming of a goal to work toward, what's the point of life!

I hope you find this an interesting ride, feel free to let me know what you think, good or bad!

As a sneak peak, I will be posting a piece I wrote about the first half of this years playoffs for the Blackhawks.

Thanks for your support!

Sincerely,

Melissa Jensen
