On Thursday October 7th, do not bother me.
Don’t call me. Don’t e-mail me. Don’t text me. Don’t tweet me. Don’t facebook me (is facebook a verb yet???). Don’t knock on my door.
Do. Not.
I will be engrossed in every way by the beginning of yet another hockey season.
Finalllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
After my family, baking and Italy, there are few things that I love more than hockey.
My hockey team … the Toronto Maple Leafs.
I will pause for a moment while you laugh/joke/point/giggle/smirk.
Pausing. Pausing. Pausing. Pausing.
Okay. Where was I? Oh yes. Thursday October 7th is the first game of the 2010-11 NHL for the Toronto Maple Leafs. As is customary for the first game of the season, they play the Montreal Canadiens.
One of the things that I’ve learned surfing the never-ending sea of blogs is that there are a lot of hockey fans out there and rightly so … hockey rules.
So to honour the start of another season, I thought it would be fun to host a hockey event.
Don’t worry. This one doesn’t have a lot of rules. Basically, if you want to participate, all you have to do is send me a link to a post you’ve put up featuring something savoury or sweet that you would serve during a hockey game.
E-mail entries to creampuffsinvenice{@}gmail{dot}com. Include your name, blog name, name of your dish, blog url and post url. The deadline for entries is midnight EST on Friday October 8th. I will post a round-up on Saturday October 9th, just in time for the first Saturday broadcast of Hockey Night in Canada broadcoast of the season.
Remember. Make whatever you’d eat or serve to your hockey buddies during a game.
Impress me!
Go Leafs Go!
Ciao!

My husband is a lifelong Canadiens fan, so don’t call me on the 7th, either!

A fellow food blogger who loves hockey!!!! I am so excited for the start of the season!!! Our team (the Capitals) starts on the 8th, but sadly we’ll be out of the country and miss the first three games. (Actually, not-so-sadly, because I too love Italy more than I love hockey.) Good luck to your guys this season!

Hope your team wins!

We’re manic high school hockey fans in MN. The week of the high school tournament is nail-biting celebration week.

no clue about hockey… I am not sure I have ever seen someone play hockey. Maybe in a movie? Anyway, in bocca al lupo to your team! And i am very curious about the forthcoming blog event, as of course I have no clue about what kind of food is fit for hockey.

I will be right there along with you cheering them on. I just hope they don’t let us down!
Lynn
I’ll be watching too, but I’ll be cheering for the Habs!

I can’t wait for our team to kick some butt this year!
Surely anything served at hockey games needs lots of calcium to make your teeth strong

GO LEAFS GO! Been a Leaf fan forever. But I live where I can’t see the games and can’t really afford Center Ice. I have to make do with The Caps, which are a fine team but not my Leafs! And we frequently go to Hershey Bears (Baby Caps) games. I love hockey! My husband, The Brit, not so much so he is not happy hockey season is starting *laff*

I, being a leaf fan by birth, love the idea of this party and may even have one of my own (seeing as I have a brand new basement to break in as well).

Do I dare say it in a room full of Leafs? GO FLAMES!!!
Koko
Love this idea! And it’s so great to see all these fellow bloggers are hockey lovers, too.
On that note…GO CANUCKS GO!

I just went to a pre-season Canucks game and sat two rows behind the players’ bench! It was awesome! you could see everything, gawk at the players and you could even smell them!
It’s good to see a fellow foodie just as passionate about hockey!

Um, is it to early to start celebrating are impending stanley cup party? It was December before the Leafs had won 5 last year (OT losses don’t count either!)
