✔ HOW DO I WRITE A LETTER TO ERIC BITTLE??? On the page where Bitty is at Faber, sittin’ on the gunwales, he’s reading through some of the fan mail that was addressed to him! He’s an inspiration!
From: Dozens of young hockey players who look up to Bitty
To: Cpt. Eric Bittle

Please, don’t send anything to this address. it’ll end up in our already non-ocean-things filled oceans. But young lgbtq hockey players and lgbtq athletes in general are here to cheer this baker through the finals!!! I’m sure JLZ gets fan mail too, but. I mean. To the general public Bitty’s story might be more compelling and they also get to follow it through the playoffs?? Bitty is sending all of his fan mail AND the Spotlight on Eric Bittle article to Suzanne and she’s cooking up a killer scrapbook as we speak.
✔ Why Chowder cry….no cry chowder…chowder….Chowder works….the goalie works so hard….no cry….Ugh. You know how it is with goalies. At the end of the day, with the NCAA champisonship on the line (again), every mistake goes straight into the sensitive goalie soul. He isn’t the only SMH-er to cry over pucks! Thankfully, Bitty is there to encourage him.
✔ Uh. Er. Things going okay with the Falcs there? Ahhhhhh. yeaaaaaah. Sometimes post-Stanley-Cup-winning teams kinda implode beginning with the injury of a cherished goaltender. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
✔ boy hey those hockey players hurling insults at bitty sure did suck yeah.
✔ I know Bitty’ll show ‘em!! Or at least I hope he’ll show 'em… To come this far would be an accomplishment enough, but we can hope for a brawl where Bitty punches some lowlife in the face! Yet, by this point victory would be the sweetest revenge. Bake and send the losing team a consolation pie or two afterwards? Attach a mostly gracious note with a purely southern and sassy and passive aggressive card addressed to THESE SPECIFIC JERSEYS #s?
✔ Most read article on The Daily ever? And the most read article in The Swallow was the Great Hockey House Fire of 2016!!!
⭐ Up Next: The finals, folks. Bitty’s last game. And he has a target on his back. Can Eric Bittle endure the hardest hit of his hockey career…?
