It was 11am, three hours before I had to be at Rodgers arena for the game. I was doing interviews for the Canucks Instagram account, before the game today so I wanted to look my very best.
"Hi Lex, whats the dress code for tonight" Logan asked me from the couch.
"I was thinking of wearing black leather pants and a black bodysuit" I replied. "Can't decide on if I want to wear sneakers or heels".
"Sneakers, you don't want your feet to be sore and cold" she said. Logan definitely had a point, the rink was cold and heels were already the uncomfortable option.
Her and I hung out on the couch before getting ready together in my room. She helped me put up my hair while I did my makeup, before getting dressed in the outfit that was layed out on my bed. I put on my favourite YSL perfume and my gold jewellery, before grabbing my bag and putting on my shoes. I grabbed my Vancouver Canucks bomber jacket and walked out the door. We decided to uber to the arena, since we had pregamed on tequila beforehand to calm the nerves.

The Rink
I walked into the arena nervous to meet the team. Logan left to go find our seats and get us some popcorn for the game. I texted my boss to let him know I was here and waited for him to respond.
"Hi! I'll get someone to come and get you" He texted.
Before I knew it I was being escorted down a hallway and out onto the team bench. They had just started with warmups so most of the players were on the ice with their helmets off. I just knew that Logan was drooling somewhere while watching them skate around.
My first interview was with Boeser which made me super happy since he was one of my favourite players. I asked him the questions I had prepared and thanked him for his time afterwords. After his interview I got a five minute break to prepare new questions for the next one, but I felt confident knowing that the first one went well.
While I had my head in my notes I felt someone come and sit beside me on the bench. I looked up and saw Quinn Hughes in front of me, the one player that Logan hoped I would get to interview, I smiled and introduced myself before asking him some questions.
After the interviews I walked up to go find Logan and our seats, excited to tell her about Quinn. I found her with popcorn in her mouth, while watching the players on the ice very carefully.
"AHHHH LEXIE" she yelled jumping up. "How did it go, tell me everything, which players did you get to talk to".
"It went well, I talked to Boeser and Hughes and they were both super nice" I said sitting down.
"Hughes is the guy I thought was cute right?" she asked. Logan grew up in a big baseball family so she didn't know much about hockey, except the fact that she found most of them very attractive.
"Hughes is the guy yes, and before you ask yeah he was cute in person too" I said laughing.
The Bar
The Canucks won 5-2 against the jets, so celebratory drinks were on the menu. I knew this good place only 5 minutes from the arena so Logan and I grabbed our things and started to walk over to the bar. It was a short line so we didn't have to wait outside long before going in and getting our signature tequila shots.
After a few rounds of drinks Logan left to go find a bathroom, while I stayed put guarding our drinks. I sat on the barstool listening to the music when I felt a tap on my shoulder. When I turned around I was shocked to see who was standing in front of me.
"Hey, you were doing our pre-game interviews today right" he asked me.
"Hi, yes, that was me" I smiled.
"I'm Brock" he said reaching out to shake my hand, "You had really good questions if I'm going to be honest, they were actually quite refreshing to hear".
"I'm Lexie" I said shaking his hand, "And thank you, that means a lot" I responded.
"Are you sticking around to do interviews all season?" he asked me.
"Yup, today was my first day actually".
"You were a natural" he said smiling. "Anyways I'm going to head over to the team to celebrate, just thought I would come over and say hi".
"Okay cool, I'll see you around" I said.
"See you around Lexie" he responded, walking back to his team.
