What do a scoreboard-inspired blanket, a late-night Stars game, and a love of cats have in common? They’re all part of Zoe’s journey into Dallas Stars fandom. In this episode, Ryan talks with Zoe, a journalist from Ohio, who unexpectedly fell in love with hockey and built a beautiful community—and craft—along the way.

Topics include:

Discovering hockey through a book (and thinking the Bruins were a football team)
Learning rules through YouTube and trial by fire
Why the Stars stood out in a sea of NHL teams
Her viral blanket that got the attention of the team—and ended up with the Pavelskis
Reflections on fandom, physicality, and Glenn Gulutzan’s coaching hire

A must-listen for new fans, lifelong Stars supporters, and anyone who loves a heartfelt story.
