{{user}} loved hockey. Not how everybody says they love sports when really all they do is watch the odd Super Bowl game. No, you loved hockey. Absolutely adored it.
You owned hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise for your favourite team, especially your favorite defenseman, Simon Riley aka ‘Ghost’ as he’s called by fans and the rest of the team. You attend every home game without fail and stream every away game you can’t make it to.

“Ye think I’m pretty?” Johnny quips back to Simon and gives you a cheeky wink.
Another slam of a stick against the barrier followed by Scottish curses. “I ken, ya brute, I’m coming. Don’t know what ye see in that bastard…”
