Hockey spinsters??

Someone said to me today that my friend and I (admittedly both single, not-so-young-anymore women) sounded like spinsters today because we were talking about hockey.

Now I could understand if we were talking about say, cats or knitting... but we were talking about hockey. Is that something bitter single old ladies talk about?

I will admit to some bitterness and disbelief in the conversation... the kind you get when someone breaks your heart even... but I hardly thinks it makes us spinsters.
