Pucks and Pins

Here’s proof that mixed sports marriages do work. One of the best rivalries in college hockey is Maine vs. UNH. As you can see, I follow the UNH Wildcats while my husband is a Black Bear fan through and through. I think I take it a bit more seriously than he does. I usually have to issue a pre-emptive apology for any of my behavior before our teams play each other.

Dan is a very good sport about all of this. I have caught him cheering for UNH when they aren’t playing Maine. He has come on several road trips with me – usually when they involve arenas that are on our bucket list (such as Munn Arena at Michigan State), or trips that involve good food. Last year he came to the game at RPI in Troy, NY since the arena is really close to Dinosaur BBQ. He also came down to the games at Princeton because of the Jersey Diners.

In the interest of full disclosure, I do cheer for Maine when they aren’t playing UNH (most of the time).
