P odcast Recording:

Hey to all my hockey gals and guys listening in tonight. This is Hockey HomegurlHattie on Ice, the podcast with all the latest hockey gossip.

Tonight, I’m bringing you news about our favorite Seattle Vipers Captain, Tor Bailey. Did you see the pictures trending on Instagram? The video on TikTok? Well, if you didn’t, ladies and gents, don’t walk, run to your favorite social media source. Be warned, puckers, you might want to bring a box of tissues with you. According to the man himself, he has indeed “Tied the Knot.” Yes, that’s right, Tor Bailey and Alexis Rhodes tied the knot in a private ceremony in Paris. The pictures we’ve seen so far are of just their hands with the rings on their fingers underneath the Eiffel Tower. I mean, Holy Tiffany’s Batgirls and Batguys. Alexis is going to have to lift weights to hold up her finger to type her books. I’m not jealous, no, not jealous at all. And no, I didn’t go research the ring on the internet to know that the platinum full circle diamond band is worth over twenty thousand dollars. Cry me a river and swoon at the same time. It’s official. Puck bunnies are crying into their pillows in Seattle. One down, three to go ladies. I guess congratulations are in order to the couple.

Moving on to our next Viper of the hour. Rumor has it that Ridley Masters is off the market. He hasn’t been seen in a month since news about his potential baby momma. In fact, the forward has gone MIA. The local puck bunnies have camped outside of his penthouse for weeks. My ear is to the streets, and I’ve not heard a peep. Not even a picture. I need my Masters fix, puckers. We’ve gone from wild nights out to radio silence. If you’ve seen him around Seattle, anywhere, inquiring minds want to know. Keep those eyes peeled ladies. Has another one of our favorites been taken off the market? Has he gone underground with said baby momma? If so, who is this mystery woman? So many questions and no answers. Well, your girl Hattie will find out and I will be right here with the latest and greatest.

Drop me a line with your speculations, ladies.

Now on to our next topic: Devan Scott’s latest romance book rec. Have you read it? Let’s talk about it.
