Crowd Erupts Into Applause After Lesbian Hockey Fan Proposes to Girlfriend on Ice

Posted by on Mar 19, 2012 in Sports | 18 comments

I grew up in Philadelphia, and Flyers fans used to throw around the phrase “I went to a boxing match last night, and a hockey game broke out!” like they were getting paid royalties to do so.

This story brings a new twist to that old stalwart. Last weekend a few thousand people went to go see a hockey game, and a lesbian marriage proposal broke out.

And the rowdy hockey fans watching it all go down on the ice LOVED IT.

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?

Beautiful!

Congratulations, ladies! Make it last.
