The theme for Tracey Clark’s Best Shot Monday this week is “I **heart** These Faces” and I easily chose this one of Anaheim Ducks players, Teemu Selanne, Jason Blake, Saku Koivu and a boy who is receiving treatment for cancer at CHOC Hospital.
I took the photo last night while I was doing a story on CHOC night at the Ducks game. I **hearted** the faces of some of my favorite hockey players a little more after watching how friggin’ awesome they were to the boy and his family. Given both Saku Koivu and Jason Blake are cancer survivors, the smiles and encouraging words were even more ***heart***felt.
So, for the second time in Best Shot Monday, I’m submitting a hockey photo (see my photo and post of Giguere, here). Sometimes it’s hard to be a girl that loves hockey, but I think Tracey understands me.
Story and video coming…

More things I’ve written about the Ducks:
Corey Perry Fights Robots, here.
Hockey Me vs. Girl Me, here.
Why I love (**heart**) hockey, here.
As if I needed ANOTHER reason to obsessively LOVE LOVE LOVE hockey…you’ve give it to me (add in the whole Brown story too…ahhhhh).
and good looking!
<><
Love their faces. These are such great guys. We are very fortunate to have them here. I **heart** hockey! 🙂
Great photo!
I think you’re “Why I love hockey” piece is one of the best things I’ve ever read about hockey. Because you’re an “amateur” fan of the sport, it gives you a perspective we don’t hear from other blogs and media outlets. It’s refreshing and dare I say it makes me try to not be as cynical about hockey. Since I’ve loved loved hockey for 40 years, I never think of the game that way anymore. thanks.
Well I love what they are doing! And they are so cute to boot!!
wow wow wow wow wow! I♥ducks!
You’ve made me a believer! Your love (heart) of hockey is hard to resist! We got tickets For the game tomorrow night!
I LOVE HOKEY!!!!!!!! Every winter I want nothing more then to run screaming back to Wisconsin and skate the river from December to February…….OH, you bring back memories…….Thank you yet again!!!
I was at the Hockey game on Friday, I totally wanted to stop by on Sunday to support the CHOC project, but I couldn’t. Glad you guys were able to make it…
oh yay! how cool!
So sweet. Yes, you are challenged being a GIRL who love hockey. But you are also a woman who can take on anything!!
Hockey players are the best athletes around. They are genuine and not arrogant. Were you freaking to be in the locker room? I bet.
3 out 4 of them had cancer? You wouldn´t know by looking at that. I hope Teemu doesn´t get that too as he has had a lot of other health worries lately.
Hockey is one of the coolest games ever, and not just because of the ice! It kinda gets messy when players’ teeth get knocked out, especially straight on in the mouth! There should be a better mouth guard for players!
