long intro/navigation post!! call me ash/any variation of my url :) this pinned post will continue to be updated as needed.
instead of subjecting my mutuals on my main who don't care about sports (i barely care some days tbh) to my hockey rants, i made this sideblog to liveblog because i know these upcoming playoffs are going to make me feral
tags, CW’s, and tier lists below the break!
my main NHL team is the carolina hurricanes (i love #my country north carolina ‼️) but i follow a few others including but not limited to the penguins, avalanche, and bruins
proudly a PWHL girlie! my top teams are the victoire, fleet, and goldeneyes
my main is @lovelesshearts (where i interact from!) and i have a messy but active fanblog @rietveldings if you want to talk books/video games/shows (yes this includes HR but i don’t cross my fictional hockey and irl hockey lol)
disclaimers:
i am not an anti, but i don’t personally read or post RPF. no judgment to those who do, it’s simply not my thing! i don’t mind following or being followed by RPF accounts, but just as a heads up, i probably won’t interact with your fic. i might parasocial with you if i feel silly tho lol
i don't mind minors following me either, but just know that i often cuss, thirst, make edgelord jokes, and sometimes mention having a drink/smoke during game nights (CW tags below the break! pls block/unfollow as needed!)
i do not tolerate bigotry of any form. i am a queer! WOC! from the southern USA! u cannot hurt me in a way that matters + the block button is an old friend.
i'm not afraid of how historically conservative elite sports are nor the nuance that comes with that, but hockey should be a fun, safe space for all fans and players, and that's not a controversial statement. i'm not here to start fights but i'm also not here to put up with misogyny, racism, homo/transphobia, etc. (#puck politics for more in depth social commentary)
i only got into the canes + PWHL about two years ago (2023-24 season) and other teams over the 2025-26 season so i’m still happily learning about some things. gatekeeping is boring and cringe. also pls lmk if i break lb etiquette or misspell a name (i try to tag with all accents and hyphens) or smth!
i love moots i love yapping i love making internet friends!!! pls don't hesitate to slide in my inbox with literally anything on your mind, i wanna be hockey buds :)

tier lists (2025-26)
i know it's bandwagon city over here leavemealone!! i go off vibes and my moots’ opinions when it comes to everything between my primary team and mortal enemies. as the hockey gods intended.
I believe in sports curses because Vegas Golden Knights are one of them but I also believe in sports MIRACLES because Carolina Hurricanes just came back from a 2-0 deficit AND WON IN OT WITH A PP GOAL BY SETH JARVIS OF ALL THINGS!!!
