She’s a Sens fan, her girlfriend’s a Leafs fan and their marriage proposal during game was adorable

[WillParkinson]

On Saturday night at Scotiabank Place, a Toronto Maple Leafs fan named Alicia stood on the ice during the second intermission wearing a blindfold. When it was removed, she looked up at the video scoreboard and read a message from her girlfriend, an Ottawa Senators fan named Christina.

Schmaltzy music played. Out walked Christina. They embraced and had a brief conversation, as the crowd began to wise up to what was about to happen.

Christina dropped to one knee while holding Alicia's hand. The fans roared. She slid the engagement ring on, they shared a kiss and the Senators mascot proudly raised a sign that read "SHE SAID YES." Just another night at the rink, eh?

1. Yeaaaa Hockey

My team may suck giant bags of frozen pucks but I still love the game I grew up with.

I wonder what the result would be if this happened in a different sport? For some reason, maybe the greater number of Canadian and European players and fans, the game of hockey seems a lot more accepting of the gay lifestyle than other sports.
