Chelseas Pov

I was just getting ready to go to Lindsay's game which was actually being played at the arena we practice at. Usually, women teams got the crappy arenas but somehow they pulled some strings and got to play here. And this arena was really nice. 

I changed out of my lazy clothes and put on my plaid pants and white shirt. I put on my sneakers and grabbed my jacket. (outfit above is what Chelsea is wearing).

The game started at 5:00 so we still had a half hour till the puck dropped, but I wanted to get there earlier, hoping I could get a chance to talk to Lindsay before the game. But we'll see if theres enough time. 

I went over to Mac and Rizzo's room where all the guys were hanging out. Phil Verchota, Mike Ramsey, Rizzo, Mark, Mac, Jack and the Coneheads, were all in the room gathered around the kitchen table. When I asked the guys if they wanted to come to the game with me, they all seemed excited to go, especially Rob. He's been talking non stop about it all week. 

And I also noticed how he was the only one who was sorta dressed up. Mac was wearing dark blue jeans and a nice striped shirt. Were as some guys were wearing track pants and hoodies.  And uh was that cologne I smelled? Somebody is dressed to impress tonight thats for sure. 

They were all  laughing at something and I walked over to Jack. Jack was wearing dark wash jeans and a grey BU hoodie. I smiled. There was just something about him wearing jeans that made him look extra cute, considering he usually wears khakis.  

" Hey baby" he said smirking at me. " you look cute " he said pulling me down onto his lap. 

I smiled at him and wrapped my arm around his neck, snuggling into him. 

The guys were playing a game of cards, and they all looked very focused. I don't know many card games, but from what I was seeing, it looked like it involved money.  Mark Johnson started smiling a toothy grin and threw his cards on the table, laughing. . 

" Haha, I win! Pay up boys!" he boasted as the guys groaned. Jack sighed, along with everyone else and reached into his pocket and pulled out a five dollar bill, throwing it onto the table. I stifled a laugh, finding this whole thing hilarious. 

" Anyways,  you guys ready to go watch PSU" I said smirking at all the guys who were now quiet again. 

" Hell yeah, getting to see some hot chicks playing hockey is like the best thing ever" Ramsey said making me laugh. Mike was a bit of a ladies man and his ego was huge. But he was funny. 

" Okay, just you guys better promise me you won't yell once we get there cause..well you'll see" I say getting up and walking to the door. 

I know a few of these guys have seen women's hockey before, but because it wasn't very popular, most of them haven't see it. So, I was hoping their reactions to tonights game will be some what subtle. Women's hockey was very different from mens hockey and watching it can get  very aggravating. The guys were definitely going to have an eye opener on hockey tonight. 

We walked outside and I got into Rizzo's car. Mac was already in the passengers seat with the biggest smile on his face. Jack got in beside me and we took off towards the arena. 


10 minutes later...at the arena


The team and I were sitting in the stands watching the Lion's and the Mustangs's warm up on the ice. 

I already pointed out Lindsay to them, as the tall blonde centre men who was warming up the back up goalie.
