When she isn't watching, writing, or talking about hockey, she's baking, crocheting, or reading. Sarah loves to travel, and plans trips around the Avalanche hockey schedule.

When she isn't watching, writing, or talking about hockey, she's curled up under a heated blanket, reading or cuddling with her three dogs.
