Celebrities Jason Reitman, Lauren Conrad, Dierks Bentley and Kevin Smith will begin blogging about a subject they are all passionate about: Hockey.
Beginning Wednesday, more than a dozen celebs will follow their favorite teams through the Stanley Cup playoffs, said NHL spokeswoman Bernadette Mansur.
“As NHL.com bloggers, they can be irreverent and candid about their love for the NHL,” she told The Associated Press.
A native Canadian who grew up in Los Angeles, Reitman, 30, became a hockey fan seven years ago. Since then, the Oscar-nominated director (“Juno”) has dedicated himself to the cause, directing commercials for the NHL and serving on its entertainment advisory board.
“I’d come to really love the game, and I was just a little upset because I felt there was more of an opportunity for particularly Americans to know about the game and follow the game,” he said.
Reitman told the league to call him if he could be of any help and they asked him to blog. Read it here.
