My latest piece for the Hockey Ladies of Greatness (the HLOG) is in response to the Creative Challenge about what Santa Claus could bring to your hockey team. In all actuality, Santa came early for the Boston Bruins, but if we had to be greedy, here is what the Bruins could ask for.

Ryan Gentry is a devoted Boston sports fan, despite relocating several years ago to Southern California. The co-founder of up-and-coming sports fan wear company CPR Gear, Gentry saw a need for fan wear that was hip and spoke to the intense nature of New England sports fans. He founded CPR Gear – “The Heartbeat of New England” – in 2008, and his line has attracted all sorts of attention from several teams and many fans. CPR Gear may stand for “Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox,” but Gentry is quick to point out that the Bruins and all other teams are included as well – his line represents more of the devotion and dedication of New England fans as a whole, rather than individual teams.
I had a great phone conversation with Gentry a few weeks back, and he agreed to be one of my first “Five questions with…” subjects. Here’s the interview! Continue reading
My latest piece for the Examiner Boston (a up and coming news website) covers the National Lacrosse League (NLL) comings and goings over the past few weeks. It’s been a busy few weeks in professional lacrosse, including a NLL franchise shutting its doors. Read the piece here.
There are people in this world who come up with ideas about a million times better than anything else I will ever fathom. Adam Sherlip is one of them. Adam, better known to his social media followers as the “Hockey Volunteer,” is currently raising money to travel to Ladakh, India to teach hockey to local students. In his previous work with three time Olympian and women’s hockey legend Angela Ruggiero, Adam traveled to China to instruct a youth league there with Project Hope, an outreach project of the New York Islanders. Adam, Angela and Project Hope eventually brought youth hockey teams from the Heilongjiang Province to the United States on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to play against American youth hockey teams and meet other hockey players like themselves.
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to ask Adam five questions as he prepares for his upcoming trip. Continue reading
Welcome to the new and improved – well, I mean, not necessarily improved, but at least the header is fancier – ...On Being a Sports Girl.
Not too much will change here on the site, other than I will have new content about every 36 hours or so. At least that’s my goal. The other thing that will change – the reason I changed to my own domain to begin with – is that I will have reader giveaways of some pretty awesome stuff (t-shirts, fan gear and the like). Everyone do a happy dance!
It may be the Christmas/Hanukkah holiday week, but here is what you can expect on the site this week:
-A great interview on the philosophy of Boston sports fans with owner Ryan of hot Boston fan gear company, CPR Gear.com.
-An edition of the oh-so-popular Everyone’s Favorite Goalie Watch. (Because gosh darn it, I think there are Pittsburgh fans wishing for Curry after that horrendous Maple Leafs – Penguins game the other day.)
-A Christmas list for the Boston Bruins (a cross-post for the HLOG.)
-And later this week, a report from the arena who nurtured my love for hockey – the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, NY. Is professional hockey dead in Rochester? I’m off to see.
