Mike Fisher is a fairly private person, so when asked about his relationship with country singing sensation Carrie Underwood, he kept his cards close to his chest.

"We're pretty private, and we obviously want to keep it that way," Fisher told the Ottawa Sun. "Keep our relationship and details really private. But at the same time, we're both happy with the way things are.

"I'm obviously happy, and it's been a good start so far on the ice, and things are great off the ice."

Carrie UnderwoodFisher, 29, and Underwood, 26, have been dating since the start of the year.

Underwood, a Grammy-winning artist, has been spotted a number of times watching her boy-toy in action, with appearances in Ottawa, Toronto, and Nashville, among other cities.

Fisher admits to having only one other girlfriend in his life, a relationship that "lasted a while, but it was a long time ago."

Underwood was on the Ellen DeGeneres show last week and touched on her relationship with Fisher, but when asked if her and Fisher planned on moving in together in the near future, she quickly answered "no."

"Call me old-fashioned," she said, "He's there. I'm here. We’re both doing our thing and it’s good. The next guy I move in with will be my hubby, whoever that is. I'm not saying it's going to be him."

Fisher believes part of his early-success this season -- 9 goals, 11 assists in 20 games -- is due to his new-found love, but his relationship also comes with added pressure on the ice.

"Yeah, there definitely can be (a tie-in) ... she expects me to score every night now," Fisher told the Sun.

Fisher and Underwood aren't the only celebrity/hockey player relationship out there.

Edmonton Oilers center Mike Comrie is dating singer/actress Hilary Duff and Calgary Flames defenseman Dion Phaneuf is going out with actress Elisha Cuthbert.
