You win some, you lose some: a week and a half after Carrie Underwood accepted Mike Fisher's proposal for marriage, the hockey star was turned down in his bid to play in the Olympics.
The Ottawa Citizen reports that Fisher, 29, was left off the Canadian Olympic team list unveiled on Wednesday.

A center for the Ottawa Senators, Fisher is "having a career year," the paper notes, and many speculated he'd be selected to represent Canada in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver February 2010.

The overlooked athlete can console himself by making wedding plans with Underwood, 26. On Dec. 20, the singer said "yes!" and donned the engagement rock: a flawless yellow diamond engagement ring. The ultra-private Fisher told UsMagazine.com "The ring was designed by Johnathon Arndt. I did ask her parents for permission. No date set for wedding yet but this summer sometime."

"We've gotten to know [Underwood] quite well over the last year and she's a great girl," Mike's father Jim Fisher said recently. "We just think they make a great couple."

8Stacy......Really? Drop dead gorgeous? You really think so? I don't agree with The Real Anon, either but i wouldn't call him gorgeous. He's average, I guess...in my opinion, anyway. A little scruffy looking, but I can't hold that against him. He IS a hockey player, after all. I give him a 6 on a scale of one to ten...lol
I could'nt disagree more with the comment below. You obviously haven't met Mike or seen him on T.V. or video. He is drop-dead gorgeous.
Uhm, what is the big deal about this guy he looks sweaty and gross in every picture. even the b!tch carrie could do better... and @ BP - what does that have to do with this? lol
great to see that the writer of the above article so well known by the gay /lesbian crowd has found a home at US Magazine
Does every picture of him have to be in a hockey shirt?
What an honor to be highly looked at when only 23 men would be chosen! Way to go Mike Fisher. You are a huge winner with the season you are having and the girl you are marrying. Lots of dudes would love to be you.
Mike is still a BIG winner in many ways. He is having a great year on the ice. He carried the Olympic Torch and he won the heart of our ALL AMERICAN GIRL NEXT DOOR. What a great year for him. Congratulations!!!!!
What a hottie! Carrie is so lucky! Hopefully all the attention he is suddenly going to get wont scare him off! Congrats to the beautiful, lucky couple!!
