The Hockey Basement

My husband is a hockey fanatic. Anyone who knows him knows that he's an Oilers fan first and a Red Wings fan second. I've been with Bri for ten years now and in that time and the years before we met he has amassed an unreal amount of hockey memorabilia - some signed, some limited edition - but it has been boxed up for the past six years because we have had nowhere to put it. Until now.

When we bought our house it was on the stipulation that the basement be completed so he can have his "sports room" - well little did we know he was going to need a whole friggin floor to house his memorabilia. He has art prints on the walls, hockey sticks hanging all over the place - a curio cabinet and china cabinet converted to be a display cabinet for some of his pucks, cards, figurines, you name it...it's insane.

For Christmas I bought him a signed Kuri jersey - his first autographed jersey and certainly not his last from the sounds of it. I pretend that his passion drives me crazy with the occassional moaning and groaning, but in all honesty - I think it's cool. And it makes gift-buying really really easy (if not a big pricey!).
