Moment of Zen: Hockey

By Joe
Jack Hughes (New Jersey Devils)

Here’s a question for my fellow southern transplants to the frigid north: have you found an appreciation for how hot hockey players are? I know nothing about hockey, but I’ve known a few hockey players since moving to Vermont, and they are a sexy bunch. Growing up in the South, I always found football and baseball players hot, and while they have football and baseball up here, hockey is to the North what football is to the South.

Nick Schmaltz (Arizona Coyotes)
Ryan Murray (Free Agent/formerly of the Edmonton Oilers)
Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins)
Alexander Wennberg (Seattle Kraken)
Elias Lindholm (Calgary Flames)

Last but not least, Tyler Seguin, who I have always thought was hot even before I knew anything about hockey except that Tyler Seguin is hot!

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

    The guys look good, but here in the UK ice hockey is a very minor sports interest.

      It’s also very minor in the American South. There were teams down there, but it was never very popular. Up here, they go crazy for it.

        Not a lot of ice in the American South!! Or here for that matter.
        But then how many US teams play football – the one with a round ball!

        Soccer, or as you football, has been growing ever more popular in the US over the last few decades. It’s not as popular as American football, but it has grown in popularity.
