My first blog =)

Since I am new to this I feel that I should introduce myself to all of you who may (or may not) read this at some point.  My name is Kelsey and I’m originally from the frozen tundra also known as Buffalo, but I currently live in Tampa Bay because I attend the University of Tampa as a public relations and advertising and sports management major (its really only 2 majors, but everyone seems to think its 3).  I feel that Buffalo is one of those cities that you don’t gain an appreciation for until you aren’t living there anymore, but I will let you know once I’ve been away from it for a few months.

I have a very strange love for the game of hockey and if you couldn’t guess, that’s what this blog will mostly focus on.  While my blog is named after my beloved Chicago Blackhawks home, the United Center or “The Madhouse on Madison,” (creative huh?), they are not the only team I will post about.

People always ask me about favorite teams or favorite players and my answer varies from day to day.  I like several teams, the Hawks, however, are the clear frontrunners on my list.  They are closely followed on that list by the Pittsburgh Penguins (woo Stanley Cup Champs!) and the Buffalo Sabres (seeing as I am from the B-lo I figured they should at least be in the top 3).  As for the favorite player part, there are just way to many to even attempt to list, but if the question was asked right now at this very second my top three would be T.J. Oshie, Jonathan Toews and Kris Letang (I like the NoDak boys, can you tell).

I also have a tendency to ramble about absolutely nothing, so just giving you a fair warning of that and I promise to try and limit it to the best of my ability (no guarantees though).  Just please be patient with me as I get the hang of this and if anyone has any advice for a beginning blogger like myself, it is very welcome!  I look forward to meeting new people who not only share my interests, but will also introduce me to some new ones!
