When I’m dating a girl there are thing in my life that I want to keep to myself, to kind of be my own. And hockey is one of them.

And like Gozer said, it kind of forces you too decide between your friends and her, which almost always ends in disaster.

Fair enough. It's all preference really. If my boyfriend said to me what you just said, then I would understand. I might be a little disappointed, because I would probably want to talk hockey with my boyfriend given that most guys don't want to talk hockey with me, but I also get that he's got guy friends he wants to do guy things with...

See that’s where you and I differ. I have a surplus of friends who would be more than happy to go to games with me if I had an extra ticket.

Now if I have a girlfriend who loves hockey she is going to expect that I take her. Which is fine and normal, But let’s say I had 10 tickets. If I bring her to the majority of the games than my friends are kind of like what the hell, especially if they have taken me too some games, if I bring my friends to a majority of the games my girlfriend is now pissed because I care more about my friends than her.

The above conundrum is solved by not having a girlfriend who likes hockey. Who would be happy with going to a few games a year but knows that your friends would much prefer the tickets.

See, I'm a girl and like the other girls in this thread, the majority of my girlfriends, who are the majority of my friends, do not like hockey or are fairweather fans. In this scenario, I'd rather take someone who likes hockey.

Also, if you have 10 tickets, why can't you take your gf to 5 games and your friends to 5 games? If she's the right kind of girl, it's just as fun to get drunk with her and talk hockey.... I'm just saying. Sounds to me like your hockey loving girlfriends are not the right kind of girlfriends and it has nothing to do with whether or not they like hockey.

Want to send my girlfriend an anonymous email with some advice.

Unlike J Pold, I don't even go out to watch the Flames. I watch them online with GameCenter, usually in the bedroom on the bed. We're in a one bedroom apartment, so there ain't many places to hide. I'm a more 'intense' watcher of hockey, as I like to put it, and don't really enjoy watching it with others (if my girlfriend was into it, then yes, that would be awesome, though). She is okay with it sometimes, but other times, it definitely becomes a "me or it" thing. She has actually admitted to feelings of jealousy over the Flames, haha. At least she's made that first step, I suppose.

She's also not from North America, and is into Cricket, so she doesn't really have any of that tradition of hockey some other women might have. It's rough going.

It’s like I was explaining to EG, most of the girls on this site are much more down to earth, perhaps it’s because they are older than the girls I meet. But at my age the girls (at least the ones I come across) are a bit too needy. They kind of expect you to place them over your friends, which for me is difficult because I have a very close knit group of friends.

So for me going to hockey games is like a sanctuary where I can just hang-out with my pals. It’s really an unspoken understanding between all of us, we understand that if one of us has a girlfriend that it’s a big commitment but when it comes to hockey (mostly the Flames) we want you to come out and watch a few games.

I don’t want to come across as I guy that hates on girls for liking hockey. I think it’s cool but just not something that I’m into that’s all.

One of my exes actually got up off the couch and started vacuuming the living room during a Grey Cup game that I was trying to watch. She was upset that I didn't want to talk about her sister's husband. This was after me spending the entire week doing everything she wanted to do just so I could get 4 hours of quiet time to enjoy the game.

Those are the kind of women I tend to meet.

This is also same for me. Currently my kids, though older, are still willing to see games with me. Maybe they always will, but if not, I'm stuck with no hockey loving friends to go with.

I just always have been, and it's unfortunate for me there isn't anyone close to me to have an intelligent conversation about hockey with.
Thank goodness for everyone here on CP.

Almost none of my friends that are guys care about hockey

I love going to games with my family, my dad and mom in particular. And my brother flew out from Ontario and we're going to the Florida game Friday,

I've never vaccuumed during a game, but I do everything I can to ruin football games for my brothers, because they do everything they can to ruin hockey games for me. It's an unfortunate thing that has really gone too far, as we all end up missing large chunks of games we'd really like to watch... It's become a game of
one-up-manship...

[Got Miikka?]

The last long term relationship I had started in the spring of 2004 (lasted 2.5 years; it's been all meaningless flings and debauchery since, but I digress). We met and fell for each other while the Flames enjoyed their marvellous Cup run that year. It was a magical spring - as many of you may recall - and this poor girl quickly became synonymous with it. Thus, it was all downhill from there, even in my numerous attempts to assimilate her with other sporting successes in the interim. Things suffered especially with a lockout season for the NHL - and the next spring, no playoffs at all (our sex life then was tragic) - and then a merciless defeat by the Ducks the next spring, and even worse trouncing by the Wings the spring after that. She was a great girl, but in my head she could never live up to the spring of 2004.

So the message here is, keep your sports and your girls (or boys, if you're a girl, or gay) seperate. They are, after all, seperate loves.

It took me 10 years to get some of my best friends to enjoy hockey. Only in the last couple years have they picked up on it. I was just an anomoly with the people I hung out with.

Other than that, I don't really have any friends that play sports, go to the mountains, go on random trips to Vegas, anything like that... pretty hard to get an 'eclectic' crowd to do those sorts of things. Hockey is a start, though... and a great one too.
