The Love the Game Bucket List

Given the recent deaths of Ed McMahon (age 86), Farrah Fawcett (age 62), and Michael Jackson and Billy Mays (both age 50), here is a bucket list before Love the Game kicks the bucket:

  1. Finish business plan and launch Love the Game online clothing storefront;
  2. Learn Czech then visit Prague and tour the Franz Kafka Museum and watch a HC Sparta Praha or HC Slavia Praha game;
  3. Become fluent in Russian then interview Russian-speaking hockey players without an interpreter;
  4. Watch the Washington Capitals play at Bell Centre, Madison Square Garden, and Joe Louis Arena;
  5. Visit Toronto and tour the Hockey Hall of Fame and watch Maple Leafs game;
  6. Self-publish a book about experience as a Black woman writing about ice hockey;
  7. Identify a charity benefiting local hockey programs for low income or at-risk minority youth and raise $1,000 in financial and in-kind donations;
  8. Read Open Ice, Saving Face, and Hockey: A People’s History (2009);
  9. Get included on Caps Today’s Must Read/See/Hear Material list; and
