Hockey girls are a whole different thing in themselves, iirc.this has always the way since forever for all sports. We don’t have footballers here in North America at least not on superstar level. But when i was younger my friend dated an nba player. She would drag me out to the clubs and I went bc i love people watching. but I saw the likes of shaq, Kobe (rip), odom etc. you could always count on the same girls showing up to certain clubs after games. There were even hockey girls.
