Avril Lavigne – Hockey

“Sk8er Boi” was one of Avril Lavigne’s biggest singles, propelling her to popularity, and many people may be unaware that she was a skater girl herself. In an interview with ESPN, she claimed that when she was two years old, her father had her on ice skates in the backyard. During high school, she was a right winger for the boys’ hockey league and was twice named MVP. After obtaining a recording contract at the age of 16, Lavigne had to put her skates on hold. She rose to prominence as the “Pop Punk Queen,” releasing a string of critically acclaimed albums. She did, however, admit to bringing her skates on tour to play street hockey.
