Hockey lovers revel in the chill of the ice, the resound of skates slicing across the rink and the rush of unfiltered fights rising out of nowhere.  But for Taylor Lupetti, the thrill doesn't come from being on the ice. She takes satisfaction in the lights, camera and action behind the scenes. "I've been going to Sharks games since I was about three years old and hockey was the first sport I ever fully understood... I knew then that it was something I always wanted to be around," said Lupetti. After being a huge fan her whole life, Lupetti took her love for the San Jose Sharks to an entirely new level. "I turned that passion into a career and my love of hockey combined with that to make me want to become a broadcaster for the Sharks." Last semester, this dream came true when Lupetti became an insider for the San Jose Barracuda, the American Hockey League affiliate of the San Jose Sharks. "I started writing with the Barracuda ...

My brown hair only shows when I want it to. The rest of the time it is disguised in blonde. Fans pack stadiums to hear me perform when I am concealed. My best friends and family are the only ones who know my secret. My friends are sometimes known as Lola and Mike. A strong country twang comes through even in the pop music I enjoy. Overly sparkled and bedazzled outfits cover my body at all times. Flashy necklaces adorn my neck for extra bling. "Funky" would be the perfect way to describe my style. I am also known to be fond of cowboy boots and horses. When I am home I feel more comfortable being myself. On stage, I belt out tunes telling everyone that "nobody's perfect." Some would say I have the "best of both worlds." I am a student by day and rockstar by night.
