Mike Fisher Engaged To Carrie Underwood - At Least According To Mike

This probably isn't how Carrie Underwood wanted her engagement announcement to be made public. In her mind she probably envisioned PR people and cover stories in all the tabloids where she showed off her ring and could sell a few million more CD's. What she got was the hockey section in an Ottawa newspaper. Was Ottawa in the early game for Hockey Night In Canada this weekend? I mean if that were the case, Mike could have come out after the game wearing the Hockey Night towel and telling the world while he smiled and showed off his missing teeth.

Apparently Mike asked Carrie over the weekend and she said yes. Well, we think she said yes. There has been no actual word from Carrie.

"It's true," said Fisher. "We're both obviously excited and very happy."

I can't remember the last time a guy was the one who made the engagement announcement. Carrie was in Ottawa all weekend so Mike probably found the time in between periods of the hockey game to ask her. Meanwhile, the other hockey girlfriend Hilary Duff was out in Edmonton on Saturday night and still has no ring on her finger.
