New York Ranger hockey player Sean Avery started his ‘internship’ with fashion bible Vogue last week.

Why???

Why NOT???

He told ” target=”_blank”>Women’s Wear Daily, the fashion industry’s trade rag, “I wanted to immerse myself in fashion. I couldn’t think of a better place to do it than Vogue.”

He must have been inspired by ex-girlfriend Mary-Kate Olsen to explore his inner fashionista!

Avery may be getting paid minimum wage like all the other interns, but it’s far from the ordinary experience.

According to reports, he may be appearing on the cover of the mag and is slated to attend the couture shows in Europe with Anna Wintour next month.

Wonder if he’ll go back to hockey after the internship?

Wouldn’t you take models, jet-setting, and clothes over the hockey puck?

We’re jealous!
