Starting Wednesday, celebrities will begin blogging for the National Hockey League’s (NHL) web site. The celebrities involved include “Juno” director Jason Reitman, “The Hills” Lauren Conrad, Dierks Bentley, Kevin Smith, David Boreanaz, A.J. Buckley, Tom Cavanagh, William Fichtner and Geoff Stults.

More than a dozen celebrities will blog on the NHL site about their favorite temams during the Stanley Cup playoffs.

“As NHL.com bloggers, they can be irreverent and candid about their love for the NHL,” she said.

Jason Reitman told the Associated Press:

“I’d come to really love the game and I was just a little upset because I felt there was more of an opportunity for particularly Americans to know about the game and follow the game.

This year is a little depressing because my two teams, the (Vancouver) Canucks and the (Los Angeles) Kings, neither of them are in the playoffs,” he said, adding that the invitation came “when the Canucks still had a chance.

“Now the Canucks aren’t in it. So what I decided is that I’m going to write a kind of mythical blog about what the Canucks and Kings would be doing had they still been in. In my version, for the first time in NHL history, the Canucks and the Kings will be the first two Western Conference teams to actually meet in the Stanley Cup finals.”
