Read below to learn more about my tags, me, and teams I follow!

My blog is somewhat organized into 4 different tags:

#thatbender media

^ This is used for anything that I post on here that is content related like video, pics, gifs etc. Everything under this tag is not taken by me originally unless stated.

#thatbender text post

^ This is anything that is just text stuff posted by me, so no photos & videos & mostly consists of my random thoughts.

#thatbender fic recs

^ This is pretty self explanatory, I don’t write fics on Tumblr simply because i’m in college & don’t have the time. I also kinda feel weird about writing fics about guys my age. Any fic written by other blogs that I like are tagged with this.

#thatbender lb

^ This is used when I live blog a game. I don’t have much under this due to me posting stuff about a game then deleting it hours later just bc I feel like it clutters my blog a bit but there may be some stuff under there.

If you’re looking for asks or anons they are tagged with #asks & #anons. And anything with players mentioned or pictured are tagged appropriately with their name(s).

Some things about me:

You can call me Mel on here if you want (it’s a nickname not my full name & she/her/hers pronouns) or thatbender

I’ve been into hockey since i’ve moved to MN 7years ago!

I went to hs with a crap ton of hockey players bc we were considered a hockey school when I was there. A lot of them play juniors or college hockey in the midwest

Some teams I follow:

NHL:

MN Wild & Iowa Wild

Anaheim Ducks

NCAA:

University of MN Gophers

University of MN- Duluth Bulldogs

University of Michigan

Anons are pretty much always on so feel free to talk to me about anything! (School, life, hockey etc.)

Thanks for visiting!

Me last night trying to get into my job, but the ticketing lady is on a power trip denying entry to me & my coworkers.

Worked at my ice arena job last night. The ticketing ladies for the big section game were on a power trip blocking my coworkers & I from going in the arena. We have to go in there to literally do our jobs & they were quizzing us like they were the FBI despite me showing my work badge. Like how long have you worked here? Who’s your manager? Like bestie you’re renting the ice from us get outta here. This woman literally had it out for us. She was giving us bitchy looks when we were working concessions.

Winnipeg fans are so pressed that the Wild are doing a whiteout game lmao

Do they know they didn’t invent a color theme? Literally every high school, college, sports teams do it.

Like be mad 😀

Met Matthew Knies at work today so that’s fun

He comes up to me and goes: “heyy so we are players (motioning to his friend that i didn’t recognize) do we have to pay still??

I say no that he’s fine to go in & they’re appreciative

Turns out his gf was playing in the game

Also i usually have a puck & pen on me for this reason and today i didn’t. 🤦🏼‍♀️ otherwise i would’ve said sign the puck and that can be your admission 😬

For those of you local to Minnesota 👀 pop out to Da Beauty League it’s a great time! Games every Wednesday starting at 5 til 8:30pm from July 10th til end of August!

My face if Marco Rossi gets traded tonight

[thatbender]

Went to the Wild’s hockey lodge sale intending to only buy a Boldy jersey… needless to say I dropped a bag & justified it as an investment✨

Boldy Adidas jersey, 22-23 team signed jersey, St. Pats blank Adidas jersey, Fleury 1,000 game pucks, Boldy game used stick (literally never thought I’d own one of these)

Almost bought a Dewar stick too didn’t see any Marco Rossi or Faber sticks tho (not much merch in general for them)

When you tweet your seat location at the Iowa Wild admin & they find you to give you a prize 🫶🏼 Mason Shaw puck to add to my collection 👀

[thatbender]

Went to Jesper Wallstedt bobblehead night at the Iowa Wild Saturday & got his bobblehead & bought a game used goal puck from March 23, 2024 scored by Caedan Bankier which is cool 😎
