A little activist... looking for change

Hi, my name is Brenley Gillis. I am 8 years old and from Nova Scotia, Canada (where Sidney Crosby is from.) My mom, Dawn, is helping me write this letter to you.

Since January our family has bought 2 different Bleacher Creatures as gifts for my little brother & cousin. We've spent lots of time looking at your website & searching for the right guy to buy in stores around here. While I liked to buy these as gifts, I was really disappointed that there are NO female hockey players represented in your items. None. As a young Canadian girl, following Team Canada's female team is part of my life. Hayley Wickheiser's name & number are common speak among me, my friends and classmates.

Hockey is getting really popular with girls my age, girls younger and girls older. Also, guess what? Girls like to play with dolls, collect them, etc. I think you're really missing the mark by not having female hockey players in your collection.

How about some recognition for our great female hockey players? I guarantee I would buy one, and I'm pretty sure I can think of a number of girls who would love to have a female hockey player Bleacher Creature in their collections.

Please consider this for the future.

I hope you take the time to read this letter.

Sincerely,

Brenley Gillis

"No he's not. He's pure-fect"

Driving home from supper tonight we were talking about bedtimes and when it was good to go to bed. Brenley asked, "Well, where's Robert Slaney tonight?"

"He's in Victoriaville"

"But, where is he!?!"

"He's in Victoriaville, Quebec, getting ready to play hockey."

"Well, is he in he's bed?"

"No."

"Well, he should be in he's bed! It's dark out and he should be in he's bed. Robert Slaney should be in bed."

Dadaidh: "Yes, Robert Slaney should be in his bed because he's silly"

Brenley: "No, he's not! He's Pure-fect!"

A defender until the end?!?! LOL

While Kyle got her ready for bed the other night, she got all tucked in, and was getting "cozy" when Kyle told her she had to go to sleep in bed. There would be no joking or jumping around:

"I not going to sleep, Dadaidh."

"Yes, you are!"

"No, I not, cuz I am the boss!"

(Didn't go over so well...)
