NHL Teams x Gilmore Girls Grace Brege “Name two things the girlies love.” Easy: Hockey and Gilmore Girls. Here is a list of ten Gilmore Girls characters, and which NHL team they represent: Lorelai Gilmore → Buffalo Sabres Lorelai is far and away represented by the Sabres. She’s fast-talking, chaotic, endlessly charming, and holding things together through sheer improvisation and heart. The Sabres have been a team that is young at heart with relentless disregard for negative e

A Pretty Girl’s Guide to: The Buffalo Sabres Buffalo Sabres aren’t the team you pick because they win all the time nor are they the team that makes life simple. They’re definitely not the team you pick because the last decade has been calm, glamorous, or stable. Really, the Sabres are the team you pick because you believe in the payoff. This is a franchise with a loyal fanbase, deep hockey history, iconic players, heartbreaking near misses, one of the greatest goalies ever,

Heck, even at their dog. This year, tens of millions of fans from across the world gather to watch the 23rd FIFA World Cup, the most watched sporting event in town.

A Pretty Girl’s Guide to: The Boston Bruins The Bruins are not a team that's the new girl in town, they're one of the oldest, most famous, hated, respected, most insane franchises in hockey history. They're an Original Six team and Boston sports culture in hockey form – intense, loyal, loud, proud, and absolutely not for the faint of heart. Being a Bruins fan isn't something casual, it’s a whole identity wrapped throughout a city. This is a team with deep history, legendary

Which Hockey Podcast is Right for You? A 10-Podcast Showdown for Every Kind of Fan by: Grace Brege There’s no secret that hockey is growing, especially in the United States. NHL viewership has gone up roughly 10% over the last two seasons. Likewise, the podcast industry is growing as well, making it feel like there are countless options for how you consume your hockey news and media. But which ones are the best? As an avid hockey fan and longtime hockey podcast listener, I’

Guide to NHL History: The History That Actually Matters The NHL has been around for more than 100 years, which means its history can get overwhelming very quickly. There are old teams, relocated teams, dynasties, rival leagues, lockouts, rule changes, iconic players, curses, scandals, expansion eras, and about a million times you find yourself asking, “wait, that team used to be where?”. If you’re trying to understand the NHL as a modern fan, you don’t need to memorize every

A Pretty Girl’s Guide to: The Anaheim Ducks There are some NHL teams that feel intimidating from the outside and I'm happy to rerport that Anaheim is not one of them. At first glance they feel fun, bright, nostalgic, and a little messy. I mean, their mascot is a duck in a goalie mask, their history is literally tied to a Disney movie, their colors have gone from eggplant and jade to orange, black, gold, and white. However, do not let any of this fool you. The Ducks aren't j

A Pretty Girl’s Intro to: Iconic NHL Duos (Part Three) By Part Three, you’d think we’d gotten through all of these iconic duos, and yet, we haven’t. Most of these are the duos fans requested because they aren’t all iconic for the exact same reason.

A Pretty Girl’s Guide to: The NHL Divisions If you are new to hockey, the NHL can feel like a lot. There are 32 teams, split into two conferences each with four divisions. However, amongst these teams there’s what feels like a million rivalries. There’s a ton of playoff math and annoying time zones, some Canadian teams, some Original Six teams, teams in places that feel extremely hockey-coded, and teams in places where people are watching hockey in shorts. So, let’s simplify
