The NBA and NFL may be known for its attractive arm-candy (Eva Longoria-Parker, Jessica Simpson anybody?), but the NHL is quietly making a name for itself.
Hockey isn't as scandalous and buzz-worthy like other major league sports, but even its smallest teams are getting attention from some of the hottest female celebrities. Before, it was just European stars and their unknown wives, but now the NHL is full of beauties who love nothing more than watching the greatest game on ice.
Here's a list of the five hottest celebrities who have a thing for guys with sticks.
5.
Eleina Dementiava. Some know her as a tennis star (No.4 in the world), but those in the NHL know her as Buffalo Sabres winger Maxim Afinogenov's fiancee. The two are planning to get married sometime soon as they have been dating since 2006.
4.
Candace Cameron. Where oh where has D.J. Tanner from
Full House gone? Don't know? Well believe it or not, the former child star is actually married to former Russian NHL star Valeri Bure. Truth be told, the couple actually got married way back in the 90s' as they tied the knot in 1996.
3.
Hilary Duff. She may not be selling millions of music records anymore, but she's certainly attending hockey games when she can. Despite being linked to numerous celebrities in the past, Duff finally found her Mr. Right: Ottawa Senators forward Mike Comrie. The two have been dating since 2007 and Comrie was said to have bought his new-found love a Mercedes-Benz for her 20th birthday.
2.
Carrie Underwood. She has been going from guy to guy (and sport to sport) but she's finally settled down with a hockey player of her own. While attending a Nashville Predators game earlier this year, commentators spilled the beans that she was dating Mike Fisher of the Ottawa Senators. Since then, the singer has been spotted at numerous games, even hanging out with fellow hockey girlfriend Hilary Duff.
1.
Elisha Cuthbert. She's Canadian. She's the "girl next door". She's Calgary Flames defenceman Dion Phaneuf's girlfriend. Cuthbert has always been a fan of hockey and anyone can see she's a fan of hockey players too as she's been linked to other NHL stars in the past.
