Thousands cheer at lesbian Leafs game engagement

BY ANDREA HOUSTON – Stop what you’re doing right now and watch this adorable video taken at Saturday’s Toronto Maple Leafs-Ottawa Senators game.

Yahoo Sports has the story.


A Maple Leafs fan named Alicia was escorted onto the ice wearing a blindfold. When the blindfold was removed, she looked up at the video scoreboard and read a message from her girlfriend, an Ottawa Senators fan named Christina.


“Schmaltzy music played. Out walked Christina. They embraced and had a brief conversation, as the crowd began to wise up to what was about to happen.


Christina dropped to one knee while holding Alicia’s hand. The fans roared. She slid the engagement ring on, they shared a kiss and the Senators mascot proudly raised a sign that read “SHE SAID YES.”


“The fans roared.”
