Introduction

Hello all! My name is Melissa. I'm an 18-year-old hockey fan and I've been obsessed with this sport since the age of six. One of my goals in life? To see an NHL game at each of the thirty arenas. This is my blog to commemorate that project.

It will undoubtedly take a while to get this done, as I don't even have a driver's license (yet) and I'll have to save my money. But it will get done, one way or another.

The thing I love most in life is the experience of going to a hockey game. There's nothing like that atmosphere; the fans (of both teams) pumped for the game, heading down to the arena, smelling pucks, popcorn, and beer - classic arena scents. Feeling the chill of the ice as you get closer to the rink, and finally walking through that hall and seeing the rink open up in front of you. 18,000 seats, and one of them belongs to you for that night. Finding that seat, and getting ready for a great night of the best sport ever played.

That's what I want, and I'm going for it. Wish me luck, and follow me as I attempt this journey :)
