NHLer's beautiful girlfriend takes a puck to the face during the game.

A lovely young lady was forced to leave her seat on Wednesday night after she took a puck to the face during the match up between the Los Angeles Kings and Colorado Avalanche, but what we didn't know was that the young woman in question was actually the girlfriend of Kings' forward Marian Gaborik.

The young woman who's name is Ivana Surovcova was spotted leaving her seat with blood coming down the side of her face but it was unclear what happened to her after the fact, that is until Gaborik published a picture on social media showing off his "warrior" girlfriend, whom he called the hottest girl in the crowd.

For her part Surovcova feels she is now officially a "hockey girlfriend" after shaking off the puck to the face, and she even has the stitches to prove it.

Here's a look at the after effects of the shot.
