Just when did I start blogging for TMZ?
I tripped over the news thanks to Michael Rand at the Minneapolis Star-Tribune -- Hinote being a native of Elk River, Minnesota -- who picked up other reports from St. Louis Today and the Rocky Mountain News.
For those of you who are crushed to learn that Amy is no longer on the market, take heart, according to Wikipedia, there's one McCarthy sister left -- that would be former ABL player Joanne.

As a huge Dan Fan (yes, I'm a puckbunny for Danny Hinote), I am saddened by this. But he's happy and that's good enough for me. I suppose. Congrats Danny, hope it works well for you. And hey, if it doesn't, I'm still here in Denver, waiting for you like I have been since you broke into the league...but you already knew that didn't you? It's not like I haven't told you before. Haha. ^.^
