Dance, Dance, Dance - Kristi Yamaguchi-Hedican Makes Debut

by Bob Wage on Mar 19, 2008 1:06 AM EDT

At the risk of being completely ostracized by the hockey blogging community, I felt like I should make a brief mention that Bret Hedican's wife, Kristi Yamaguchi made her "Dancing With the Stars" debut last night. For the past several years, Hedican has been a mainstay on defense for the Carolina Hurricanes. But as you can see from the video below, he also plays guitar and sings a little John Cougar Mellancamp. Is there anything that these folk aren't good at?

Of course I didn't watch the episode myself, but I heard through the grapevine that you can vote for her by following this link.

I happened to see Kristi dance and she was absolutely amazing! The judges had great things to say about her dancing skills. She and her partner scored 9’s from all 3 judges and had the highest score of the night. Leading up her performance they showed a video taken while she was training. It included a supportive Bret Hedican in the background. Kinda of funny, but as I was watching I thought “Wouldn’t that be cool if Kristi won the Dancing with Stars and Bret got another Stanley Cup ring in the same year?”

Oh, you know you watched it…..

I’m honestly sorry I missed it. I got wrapped up in the Atlanta/Philadelphia game and forgot to switch over.

Being stuck at the moment in DC I watch all the games on Center Ice with about a 50/50 split showing up with Tripp and John and the rest as away broadcasts. If there is one thing broadcasters around the league love to point out whenever they talk about Bret’s smooth skating style, it’s the insider info that always goes “…and you know he’s not even the best skater in his family…(followed by several laughs as they talk about Kristi’s prowess and now ‘Dancing’ skills)”. It’s like the one player story that broadcasters can’t seem to live without whenever Hedican’s in the lineup. Funny stuff. Go Canes!
