Daily Create Journal – 1.13.21

You guys, hockey’s back!

Once the pandemic hit (did you know there’s a pandemic right now?), the NHL killed the regular season, had a cluster of a post-season, and the new season which would normally begin in October, begins (wait for it) today. In celebration of this fact, my daily create – for which I had to show western shoes – displays the hockey skates of Zach Parise (and Ben Chiarot but I don’t like the Jets) who plays for the Minnesota Wild*, a team in the NHL’s WESTern conference so I’m counting it.

* there’s a great piece of sports trivia: within the top 4 grossing pro sports leagues in America (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL), there are only 9 teams whose mascot isn’t an animal, and doesn’t end in ‘s’. I realize now the “Washington Football Team” may be on this list but I’m just going to ignore them because I feel like it.

• Tampa Bay Lightning
• Colorado Avalanche
• Minnesota Wild
• Boston Red Sox
• Chicago White Sox
• Utah Jazz
• Miami Heat
• Orlando Magic
• OKC Thunder
