Guest Post: Fandom and the Joy of Hockey by Claire Humphrey
I leveled up as a fan on November 14, 2014, shortly after 7pm, watching a hockey game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Toronto Maple Leafs. I was sitting at the bar at a beer hall near my office. I don’t remember who I had planned to meet or why they weren’t there. I do remember that Evgeni Malkin didn’t score a goal. Before that day, I would have described myself as a fan of lots of things. Georgette Heyer, Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Oliver Sacks, Harry Potter, Shakespeare, Gwendolyn MacEwen, Alexander McQueen. Artists and shows, books and looks, old and new. And I was, and am, a fan of all those things.
