If you know Eric and Samantha, you know that hockey has always been a big part of their lives — and it’s what first brought them together. They met while playing summer league hockey up in Mount Pleasant. A few years later, while Samantha was working at the rink, Eric reached out to her asking about hockey apparel — even though he knew exactly where to go! After a few months of talking, they decided to go on a few dates, and the rest, as they say, is history. On June 28th, they officially became a couple, beginning a journey filled with adventure. From trips to zoos and aquariums to weekends in Vegas, a memorable Colorado ski trip (where Samantha managed to slice her leg open on the mountain — a moment Eric will never forget), and even a cruise, they’ve shared countless laughs and unforgettable moments together. Eric and Samantha are passionate about traveling, exploring new places, and sharing their love of hockey and golf. So, in true Eric and Samantha fashion, Eric proposed to Samantha on the golf course — a spot that holds so many great memories for them. They can’t wait to spend many more years together exploring new places, watching and playing hockey, and enjoying endless rounds of golf, side by side.
