Country music may be known for its heartfelt ballads and catchy tunes, but it apparently has perks far beyond the stage. Take Carrie Underwood, whose superstar status in country singing intersects intriguingly with the world of ice hockey. Yes, the rink and the recording studio may seem worlds apart, but in Underwood’s case, they form the backdrop to a story avid tuners cannot get enough of: one where the beat of the hockey puck meets the twang of a guitar.

When country melodies meet the slapshot, the relationship is bound to get more interesting than the scoring goals.

Carrie Underwood has been married to Mike Fisher, a former professional ice hockey player hailing from Canada, since 2010. Fisher had made his name as a forward in the NHL before retiring to embrace a quieter life with his famous spouse. Their marriage has represented a striking mix of sporty grit and country charm, proving opposites really do attract, and last.

Their long-distance courtship did not prevent sparks from flying, leading to a proposal in December 2009. Less than a year later, in July 2010, the couple said their vows at a lavish Georgia wedding, absolutely blending two worlds through love while also setting up the model for a certain pop mogul and football tight end union
