Last week, you could almost hear the collective sigh of resignation from eligible bachelors everywhere when the Raptors Landry Fields proposed to his model girlfriend, Elaine Alden.  (Smart move, although you’d expect nothing less from a Stanford grad.)

More interestingly though, it led to this tweet from one of Blue Toro’s followers:

Excellent idea Cam!  It’s a question that deserves an answer, right up there with ‘does anyone want to be in Pinball Clemons company the day the laughter stops?’ and ‘why was Rudy Gay staring down the Memphis bench last night after taking nearly the entire first half to get his second basket and with his team still losing?’

As such, I now present Blue Toro’s nominations for the Toronto-based athlete with the hottest partner.

1) Elisha Cuthbert:

Probably the most well known of all our nominations, actress Elisha Cuthbert is engaged to Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf.  (Likely explaining why Phaneuf’s hated by Leafs Nation almost as much as fans of the other six Canadian teams.)

And while some people will argue Cuthbert peaked after starring in ‘The Girl Next Door’, you only have to watch her current comedy series to realise she’s still capable of making us all dream of starring with her in our own personal version of ‘Happy Endings’.

2) Aliya-Jasmine Sovani:

Whilst currently being on the bottom rung of the sports journalism ladder, it’s still my obligation to be objective……….actually, given how the rest of the media carries on, scrub that.

Miss Sovani is my personal favourite on this list.  There, I said it!  (This may or may not have something to do with my weakness for women of her ethnicity.)  Either way, I’m both unsurprised and extremely jealous that the Argonauts Mike Bradwell is currently dating the television personality and producer.

On top of her looks, it helps that Miss Sovani is a big sports fan and also has a bubbly, fun-loving personality.

Bradwell has been seen around town quite a lot in recent months, proudly parading the Grey Cup.  Something tells me it’s not the only prized possession he can’t keep his hands off of at the moment. Git!

3) Paige Brendal:

Giving hope to all women out there, Paige Brendal is living proof that you don’t have to be famous to snare a major sports athlete.  While not much is known about the young lady, she’s obviously done enough to win Brett Lawrie over.

There’s no denying Miss Brendal is an attractive young lady. And if her Twitter account is anything to go by, she’s a thoughtful person who enjoys spoiling everyone’s favourite Canadian hothead.

Here’s hoping she can inspire Lawrie to perform well this season for the Jays by allowing him the odd home run or two off the field as well.

4) Elaine Alden:

I guess it only makes sense to finish with the woman who inspired this column in the first place. With a beautiful body, pretty face, and a career in modelling; this woman has it all. Except me of course.

Not surprisingly, she’s a firm favourite of publications such as FHM, GQ and Maxim.  Let’s just hope Landry Fields steps up his game sooner rather than later, because it would be a shame to see Miss Alden leaving Toronto anytime soon.

Just for the record, this list is not definitive, it is purely our own personal choices.  As such, please feel free to play along at home, whether this means selecting one of our picks or suggesting one of your own nominations to enter into the equation.
