He's a star hockey player for the Ottawa Senators today, but Mike Fisher might be turning over a new leaf: recording artist!
After his girlfriend Carrie Underwood wrote "I love you" to him in her new album's liner notes, the 29 year-old athlete jokes, "I told her that when my CD came out, I'd return the favor."
In an interview with the Toronto Sun, Fisher poo-poos marriage talk but admits that Underwood, 26, is only his second "serious girlfriend."
"There has been only one other girlfriend, really," he says. "It lasted a while, but it was a long time ago."

Similarly, Underwood recently told Ellen DeGeneres that her one-year relationship with Fisher is "the longest relationship I've had."
In the Play On liner notes, Underwood coos of Fisher. "You make my life better in every way! I thank God for you every day."

"Obviously, it was very nice," Fisher tells the Toronto Sun of the tribute. "I was happy she included me in something like that."

Stressing their need for privacy, Fisher acknowledges, "we're both happy with the way things are . . . I'm obviously happy . . .things are great off the ice."
Last week on Ellen, Underwood stressed that they have no plans to move in together. "Call me old fashioned," she said. "The next guy I move in with will be my hubby. Who ever that is. I'm not saying it's going to be him."

16Carrie and Mike they are the cutest couple ever!!
I would prefer Carrie with David Cook. He's hotter.
Ilove the "tempoary home" song, Carrie how did you? I barrowed a computer to say thank you it made me cry but give me hope
I hear she and Mike aren't seeing each other and she has moved on to someone else...and Mike isn't happy about it at all!!
He is ONLY with her because she is young,beautiful,famous,rich,and under 30....she's the ONLY kind of American girl a shallow Canuck will go for....

Carrie is awesome and Mike seems so too! Much luck to them both. Hope they stay very happy together for a long time!
I'm unhappy about their happiness, but only because Fisher and the Senators beat Ovechkin the Capitals last night! haha
old-fashioned lol, does that means she sleeps with these guys without living with them and she deserves kudos for this LOL
Love Carrie, she's so down to earth, so rare to find normal people in Hollywood, hope she will stay!
So refreshing to see a couple try to keep it normal and old fashioned. Adorable!
