The rumors are confirmed! Carrie Underwood is indeed engaged to her boyfriend of over a year, NHL hockey star Mike Fisher."It's true," Mike told the Ottowa Citizen newspaper Monday morning. "We're both obviously excited and very happy and so, exciting times for sure."
Mike says he popped the question on Sunday but wouldn't give any further details. His teammate Chris Neil says the engagement was "a long time coming."
"There are going to be a lot of broken hearts here in Ottawa, all those girls who are in love with Mikey," he said. "But he's marrying an awesome girl. It's unbelievable for him."
We can guess there are a lot of broken hearts amongst the guys, too!
Carrie met her future husband backstage at a concert in March 2008. She kept mum on their relationship until the release of her new album, 'Play On,' in November. The CD's liner notes include a sweet shout-out to her beau: "Thank you #12," she writes, referring to Mike's jersey number. "You are the most amazing addition to my life! You are such a wonderful person and have had such an amazing hand in the building of this album and in the growth of me as a person. I love you so much! You make my life better in every way! I thank God for you every day."
A wedding date has not yet been set.

Not so fast with your criticism picky picky picky "Artie D". The article does say "NHL hockey star..", not "NFL Hockey Star" as you indicated it did. There is a typo error in the link but if you click the link it does take you to the Ottawa Citizen. The author did write Ottawa in the rest of the article.

"Peter" are you blind, the article does say "NHL" not "NFL". What are you "Artie D", and "wingnutphl" reading? Here's a direct copy of the aricle "NHL hockey star Mike Fisher". So there's a typo in the link but if you click the link it does take you to the Ottawa Citizen. The author does write Ottawa in the rest of the article. What are you guys editors, I don't think so. You made a dumb mistake with NFL versus NHL.

Where have we seen this before: hot babe marries big-time athlete? I`ll give it 2-3 years. What these chicks don`t understand is they aren`t going to change these guys who are so used to bed-hopping any time they want with whatever eye-candy comes down the street. A lot of this stuff these days is fueled by all the porn that`s out there that so many guys are hooked on ( rich or poor or other-wise ). These relationships don`t stand a chance. Sorry to be so negative but you watch.

Apparently there is no editing involved in this article. NFL hockey star? Ottowa?? I stopped reading after coming across those errors.

Susie, we're not professional writers like (Beville). Those are HUGE mistakes.
