Since actress Janet Jones got caught icing the wedding cake with Wayne Gretzky, numerous Hollywood hotties have been facing off with hockey players. Which star is playing hockey tonsil with whom?

‘FIRST LINE’

ELISHA CUTHBERT & SEAN AVERY

Before their alleged breakup over the past few weeks, the star of “24” had been seen 24/7 with the former L.A. King (and now New York Rangers) Avery. Want to check on the status of their on-again, off-again relationship? Visit Cuthbert’s hockey blog she writes for NHL.com.

HILARY DUFF & MIKE COMRIE

Duff was the center of attention this summer when she started dating New York Rangers center Comrie. Seen together in Santa Monica in the off-season, maybe Duff can become comrades in arms with Cuthbert, since she also happens to be dating a Ranger.

PARIS HILTON & JOSÉ THÉODORE

Hilton caused an avalanche of hate mail when she dated Colorado’s Théodore, who happened to be married during the time of their dalliance last summer. He immediately put their relationship on ice.

‘SECOND LINE’

TARA REID & SERGEI FEDOROV

Reid has also dated the likes of Tom Brady, Jeremy Shockey, Kyle Boller and tennis player Mark Philippoussis. Speaking of tennis...

ANNA KOURNIKOVA & SERGEI FEDOROV

While Kournikova never could net a tennis championship of her own, Fedorov was busy leading the Red Wings to multiple championships.

ANNA KOURNIKOVA & PAVEL BURE

She was the most downloaded celebrity on the Web while Bure was reportedly the first ever sports celebrity to chat on the Internet.

‘3RD LINE’

ALYSSA MILANO & WAYNE MCBEAN

 Before going through her own personal pitching rotation of Carl Pavano, Barry Zito and Brad Penny, Milano had a thing for pucks. While still on working “Who’s the Boss?” Milano dated Rangers prospect McBean, and now she writes her own baseball blog for MLB and the Dodgers.

KATE HUDSON & ERIC LINDROS

Before marrying Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, Hudson had a relationship with the Philadelphia Flyers center.

TYRA BANKS & MARK MESSIER

She might have a show called “America’s Next Top Model” but Tyra could just as easily host “Dating America’s Top Athlete,” considering she has been linked with Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan and Rick Fox. Before dating Chris Webber, Banks supposedly stepped out with Messier.
