Hey Look! A Blackhawks Post...Sorta

So we haven't talked about the Blackhawks at all. Can you blame us?

The season started out pretty promising with Martin Havlat tearing it up and the Hawks actually sitting in first place for a while.

Then Havlat got hurt.

Nikolai Khabibulin got hurt.

Hell, half the team got hurt. Then they started losing every game, and eventually fired coach Trent Yawney.

But ever since Denis Savard took over, things have turned around considerably. Of course, it should be mentioned that Martin Havlat returned at the same time. Either way, the Hawks are 5-1-3 in the nine games Savvy has been coaching. That's helped them move into third place in the Central Division, and within the playoff hunt.

Still, we don't really care. Hockey left for a year, and it turned out we didn't miss it anywhere near as much as we thought we would. We fell back in love with the NBA and moved on.

But we're still going to go to a couple of Hawks games this year, and not just cuz our friend Vic knows coach Savard and can get us in for free.

Nope, it's for the Ice Crew.

We'd like you to meet a few key members of the Blackhawks organization.

ADRIENNE

Adrienne is in her third year as a member of the Blackhawks Ice Crew. What's her favorite part of being on the Ice Crew?

All of the wonderful girls I've met and the fun opportunities I've had, not to mention the cute little outfits!

Those little outfits aren't the only things cute around here, Adrienne! What do you like to do Adrienne? What are your interests?

Fashion, traveling, dancing, working-out and spending time with my family and friends.

OHMYGAWD. We're totally into the same things!!!!!

JEN

Holy Kristy Yamaguchi, hey there Jen. Jen is also in her first year on the Ice Crew, and is a Pre-Kindergarten teacher. That's enough to make us wanna buy a box of Crayolas.

What don't most people know about you, Jen?

I have traveled to over 15 different countries

Really? We went to Canada once. Since you're Asian, you're probably really into the karaoke. What song do you like to sing?

"Like a Prayer" by Madonna.

It's not "Like a Virgin," but dammit, it's close enough.

Moving on, let's meet...

JENNIE

Where have you been all our life? I know where you have been the last four years. At the United Center with the Ice Crew. What's your favorite part of being a member?

I have made such good friends, and the fans in Chicago are awesome.

Yes, well rest assured, we're your biggest one. What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you?

I was at a pool checking out a balcony full of guys, and I leaned back on the lounge chair and it flipped over and I got trapped underneath it! Gimme a break, I was 14!

But you're at least 18 now, right?
