Arianna ("Ari") started watching hockey earlier this year, and she's loved it ever since. A long-suffering Washington Commanders fan, she found a home in hockey with the Canes... and has been to far too many games this year. When she's not watching hockey, playing board games, or endlessly scrolling through her Steam library, she's a software engineer.
