Press Level Fashion: Boston Bruins vs New York Islanders
As the Nor’easter continued to dump rain and the wind gusts reached the 35 mph level (okay – not as hard as a Chara slap shot – but can pelt you with that rain) the last thing I wanted to do was to worry about potentially getting soaked. After all I had to dash from work and catch the subway to what promised to be a very emotional game with the return of former Boston Bruin, Johnny Boychuk. I didn’t want to have my attention on wet feet or cold legs. So I elected to go with a warm pair of skinny pants, a loose-fitting but comfy sweater and one of my favorite scarves. And the booties had been soaked once before without consequence, so I knew that my feet would be dry and warm. They would also be comfortable, as I have walked from the train station to the Bruins practice rink – Ristuccia – in Wilmington (and back). So it would be no problem to get from press level to the Visitors’ locker room and then the Bruins’ room and still be fine for getting me home after the last interviews were done.

Media Tip: Despite being up above the ice, don’t expect press level to be warm. Wearing fingerless, and fashionable, mitts is one way to stay a little warmer and still be able to type on your keyboard.
