I've always liked hockey. But there was a few years in my life it wasn't really sometihng that I cared for - mainly my high school and early university years.
However in 2018, my last semester at university, I decided to get back into hockey. I started off with the Vancouver Canucks - seeing as I was studying in Vancouver, and was a BC girl.
It was also 2018 when I got my first jersey. I was supposed to be going to watch the Canucks play the Ducks - the Ducks were my favourite team when I was a kid. I was a big Scott Niedermayer fan, so I enjoyed them because of him of course!
Then I found a favourite player, then I began liking players on other teams as well. So eventually I was collecting jerseys for all NHL teams unintentionally.
In the midst of 2021, I decided that I would collect all the teams. This meant it would be 32 soon, when the Kraken joined the league.
Back then I was at possibly 35 jerseys. Not as many as some, but more than someone who probably only buys jerseys for one or two teams.

Non-NHL Hockey Jerseys
MLB Jerseys
In total, I have fifty jerseys. I only need five teams to complete my every NHL team collection.
My most recent jersey was a Bear Canucks jerseys. A flying skate with his name in Cree Syllabics instead of his name in English. Ben, who has a custom-jersey gig and runs Sports Stitches. It is, unequivocally, my baby from now on.
I look forward to see what jeresys I add on in the future!
Hockey Talk
Also, as a Canucks fan, I'm both sad and happy to not see us in the playoffs. Because as someone who also loves the Coyotes, I was hoping the Canucks would also struggle under Tocchet because he did more to break the Coyotes than trying to fix it. Plus, the way they let go of Boudreau was awful.
However, as a certfied Goalie Hug Lover, I look forward to seeing what the Bruins do in the playoffs. Shocker, I'm a Canucks fan who doesn't hate the Bruins. But I also wasn't a Canucks fan in 2011, so I've kind of just watched everything from a distance.

Thanks for reading my sports nonsense. Let's end this blog with a little poll.
