Hockey star busted reading ‘Twilight’

Twenty-one year old Patrick Kane plays hockey for the Chicago Blackhawks, who won the Stanley Cup this year. How has he been keeping busy lately? His mom spilled the beans that she found him reading Breaking Dawn in his bedroom.

It was his mother, Donna, who caught the 21-year-old in the act — of reading a book.

While the fourth installment of the “Twilight” series isn’t exactly Tolstoy, the image of Kane in the bedroom of his Buffalo childhood home, curled up with a book instead of carousing on the streets of his hometown, is fairly startling.

“Ohhhh,” Kane said with a laugh after regaining his composure. “She would throw me under the bus like that. I watched the first three movies and was really interested … so I decided to read the fourth book. I kind of snuck it in there, and she walked in a couple of times with me reading the book. I tried to hide it, but it wasn’t happening.”

As Donna Kane sees it, the fact her son is taking the time to read is an indication he’s maturing off the ice as well as he has on it.

“When Patrick was a rookie at training camp the first year, they had him rooming with (veteran) Kevyn Adams,” Donna Kane said. “Patrick walked into the hotel room and Kevyn was reading a book and Patrick said, ‘Why would you want to read when you don’t have to?’ Kevyn said, ‘Pat, it’s good for you, it teaches you, especially if you enjoy what you’re reading.’

“So what does Patrick do this summer? He’s reading a 700-page book."

What a cute story. And it sounds like he has taken up hobbies such as reading and charity events, to stay out of trouble! Good for him.
