To my surprise, while I was checking out my daily Analytics report, I noticed that I was getting suspicious hits from sites featuring fictitious homoerotic stories about some of my favourite NHL players in blush inducing (and awesome) situations. This led me to think about some of the other things I’ve uncovered in my regular blog traffic investigations. I thought it would be a nice change of pace to share some of the Psycho Lady Hockey write ups that I’ve come across around the hockey blogging world. I hope these readers don’t mind me posting them, and, no, none of these sites feature NHL word porn. Apparently, I’m big in Nashville haha! Enjoy, and make sure to check out these awesome, two thumbs up sites from our fellow psycho hockey fans!

Confessions of a Cheese Grits Fiend (Nashville Predators)
http://jasfaulkner.blogspot.com

Katrina Cady is one funny woman who writes a love letter to hockey with a pen that is loaded with equal amounts of acid and honey. Her posts offer tongue-in-cheek advice on mix tapes for the road, how to handle friends who don’t like hockey and other vagaries of bunny life. It’s funny stuff and I love her blog.

What really grabbed me as a reader was her book, Down the Rabbit Hole: A Guide to Puck Bunnies. You can find it in the body of her blog as serial posts and featured as linkable chapters in the sidebar. Her take on puck bunnies is funny, sad, chilling and infuriating. Given that it was written as a therapeutic purge when she was eighteen, it’s pretty impressive. It would be interesting to see what would happen if she tackled a rewrite in a few years with the help of a good editor and some temporal distance.

Note: I like to think that the majority of the players on my team are decent guys who love their families and try to live up to the motto that the Predators are about “character, not characters”. So yeah, there’s a part of me reading her book and thinking, “Not Dan Ellis! Not Arnott! Dumont? Mon dieu, non!” Still, on the rare occasions that I’m not engrossed in the game, I plan to take a look around and see if the puck bunnies in Nashville are anything like the ones she writes about.

Psycho Lady Hockey Bloggen är visserligen på engelska och hon är från Canada men hennes blogg är helt klart värd att läsa om man gillar hockey lika mycket som jag. (Och hon ;P)

According to my “free” translation, she is saying that my blog is worth reading even though it’s in English and that I’m from Canada

It’s entertaining and it’s everything you ever wanted to know about puck bunnies but were afraid to ask.

Probably the most shockingly entertaining blog I’ve been introduced to this week.

Psycho Puck Lady is on a roll. She really needs more exposure for her wit and writings.

Bloggen den kommer från är denna, här ska sägas att jag har lite problem för jag kan inte bestämma mig för om den är bra och rolig eller bara skrämmande…

According to the “free” translation, he hasn’t decided if my blog is fun or just terrifying

The Ryan Coke Experience (Montreal Canadiens)
http://theryancokeexperience.wordpress.com

The writer of this blog, Katrina, is a huge hockey fan. When she was 18, she wrote a book called Down the Rabbit Hole: A Guide to Puck Bunnies. Now she details her adventures in a blog. And she’s a hardcore fan. She goes on many road trips, and has seen more in person games in a year than I have in a lifetime.

Best line: Prior to this season I had only attended two hockey games by myself EVER – and they were both uncomfortable. My first, in Detroit, was an awkward and irritating experience. Not only were the players’ wives stalking me and complaining that my hair was nicer than theirs, I was also featured on the Kiss Cam and was forced to kiss the strange boy sitting to my right.

Psycho Puck Lady just cracks me up.

Picture: The most Psycho Lady-esque picture I could find floating around the old Facebook account. Edmonton 2007, off to do some “hunting” around the hotel in my pjs. (The Canadian U-20 men’s soccer team was staying at our hotel and the coach was DILFy!) You can’t tell, but it says “Leafs” on my bum – oh my!
