Every Friday for the next few weeks we’re introducing one of our contributors! First up: Danica.

My dad tells me this story about how when I was younger and the Sabres were good, he and I would watch the games together. Granted I was less than a year old and couldn’t comprehend anything valuable but whenever the Sabres scored, I yelled and whenever the game was boring, I fell asleep. I’d like to believe that this is my first taste of hockey, despite the fact that I don’t remember it.

When I was roughly 7 years old, I found myself on my elementary school’s old tennis courts with oversized goalie pads on. In front of me were a plethora of boys running towards me and taking shots that probably a baby could save. Come to find out, I was the only girl on the court and I still had the hardest shot. The boys put me in net so I couldn’t shoot on them. I never knew that girls could play hockey, so I never pursued it further. 12 years later and I regret it.

In the 4th grade I got a Jason Pominville jersey for Christmas and my parents nearly had to rip it off of me at times in order to wash it. That year, I also got rinkside tickets two seats away from the Sabres bench. I was small enough to fit my arm through a gap were the glass didn’t connect and I got to high five the legend himself. I still recall it as one of the best days of my life.

I was always an athletic kid. From soccer, to street hockey, tae kwon do, baseball and softball, hockey for an actual team crossed my mind but never stayed. In 7th grade when the option of field hockey came to light, the thought of wearing a kilt and learning how to shoot right was something I didn’t want to put the effort into doing. There was also no hitting in field hockey and growing up around boys didn’t prepare me for that. I never got into it.

I’m 19 now. Two shoulder surgeries because of softball later and needless to say I don’t really play sports anymore. The NWHL has been around for almost 4 years now and it’s the first representation of women playing hockey that I’ve ever really seen. I never knew that I could play ice hockey at such a young age and be just like the boys. I watched the Sabres all my life and now seeing that I can watch the Beauts and other women play hockey was something I wish I had when I was younger.

With my contribution to the podcast, I’d like to not only talk about the Buffalo Sabres with my fellow contributors but I’d also like to bring more awareness to women’s hockey. With my kazoo noises after things I agree with and my random tidbits about things mentioned, I want to show whoever is listening that the NWHL is just as important as the NHL, if not more important. I also like to mention Pommer whenever I get the chance. I love that old guy.

Thanks for listening to my mini life story, my regrets on not playing hockey and my love for Jason Pominville. I hope our podcast finds you well and teaches you something while also making you laugh.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S verse stuff

On Monroe’s room

Monroe’s room is purely functional when she first moves in

Calling it Spartan is a kindness.

Like, mattress and boxspring, plastic chest of drawers tucked in her closet for her clothes, hook near the door for her backpack. the boxes she used to move in sit near the door because without them she feels like the room look so bare.

Most of the things from the boxes were things for the communal living space so they aren’t even there to clutter it up

Slowly, she starts collecting things

She’s never had a room to herself for long and she wasn’t ever allowed to make it her own space.

She puts up a Buffalo Beauts poster that she found on a three am amazon rabbit hole and has never been happier in her life

She gets in contact with an old foster mom who had a box of her old stuff at one point to see if she still has it

Monroe spends hours rereading her second grade writings, and old trinkets.

Her mom’s rosary is in the bottom of the box and when she finds it she cries a little, but won’t admit it.

The same foster mom calls her weeks later asking if she wants all her old hockey gear.

Monroe has no need for her second grade coed rec team jersey and tiny hockey stick, but at the same time she does

they sit on chair she found on the curb for a few weeks

Her stuff from high school, she though, got lost when she was couch surfing

One of her team mates from high school was hoarding it all, however, and when she sees on instagram that she’s in her own place, Monroe gets a call to come get her crap

When she realizes that keeping all of her book in her backpack is the reason the strap ripped off, she installs a shelf.

There’s a trip to ikea and she leaves with a cheap but workable desk that almost looks like the chair she salvaged.

There’s a constant battle of if it’s acceptable to drop her gym bag on her dresser and pass out or not.

(she doesn’t know when they dresser got in her room. she doesn’t remember buying it or moving it in. she’s pretty sure it was elfs.)

She’s the loser who gets photos printed as if it’s the 90s or something and they join the posters on the walls

In the box of stuff from HS there’s also a LOT of spray paint and stencils. If you ask, she was in an art course. If you get her drunk and ask, she was a lil shit who found that graffiti was way more fun than being at whichever group home she’d been shoved into

She looks up one day and realizes she has a room. like one with pictures and books that are just for fun and post it note reminders and so much stuff and she’s so confused.

She’s never had that before. She’s never had a space that’s just hers.

It’s nice. confusing. but nice.

#100friendsau #v; your love life's DOA. ( closed group. )#ALSO SHE LIKE NEVER MAKES HER BED.#EVER
