Mindy & Elodie

Mindy & Elodie after an exciting night of hockey.

Being the wife of a hockey player is a very challenging task as you are forced to move to faraway cities where you probably do not know anyone. Your husband gets an immediate social group in the form of a hockey team while his wife gets to hang out at home, waiting for husband to come home from practice.

Fortunately, Mindy is a very social girl and has had the pleasure of making a few friends to help pass the time and make sure she gets her quota of girl-talk. One of those friends is a former student of her's with whom she made an instant connection. Elodie is an employee of Chanel and works in the original building purchased by Coco Chanel when the company was just getting started. Sharing a common interest in high fashion and Starbucks, her and Mindy have become fast friends and rarely does a week go by where they are not meeting up for lunch.

This past weekend, Mindy invited Elodie and her boyfriend, Fabrice, to an Asnieres HC hockey game to help introduce them to Canada's pastime. They seemed to enjoy the game, even though the home team lost, and even joined us for a drink at the TGC for more hockey and a beer after the game.

Fabrice laughs at one of Mindy's jokes, or maybe her french.
