Question: What does hockey have to do with Valentine’s Day?
Answer: Absolutely Nothing. But this won’t help us sell any spots for our 2008 hockey camps. And why should we be the only ones left out of this “Hallmark Holiday” that was conceived by some Evil Marketing Super-Genius. So consider the following Top 10 list:
- H is for Hockey, and H is for Heart. Coincidence? I think not.
- Valentine’s Day is about Love. We should all love that special someone in our life as much as we love to play hockey. Ask yourself this: Would I still be with my girl/guy if she/he smelled as bad as my hockey bag? Be honest.
- Hockey is a great opportunity for couples to enjoy quality time together. After all, somebody has got to be on the receiving end of that slap shot.
- Cupid shoots arrows. Hockey players shoot pucks. Duh!
- Why should February 14th be the ONLY day of the year we don’t think of hockey?
- 9 out of 10 hockey coaches (and who could be more romantic than hockey coaches) agree that the best way to express your love to your sweetheart is not through candy, flowers or jewelry. It is hockey camp. Come on, you’ve seen him or her play. You know they need the help. We can make them suck a little less. Sign them up today!
*We all know Canada is the home of hockey, so as a salute to our Canadian friends, this is a metric version of our list. OK, I know that’s a bit of a cop out, but hey, there has been a writer’s strike going on for how long? You should be happy with 6!
