We got some front-row tickets to a Vancouver Giants hockey game. The Cannucks were on the road which is why we didn’t see them but I have to say, junior league hockey is pretty awesome.
A mini blimp was flying around inside the arena dropping tshirts onto people.
First period.
One of the several fights. The refs let the fights go on until they start hitting places that might cause damage.

Pipsqueeks playing a mini game in between the first and second periods.
The future of Canada’s hockey game.
A Zamboni refinishing the ice.
We were super close to the ice. Just a thin sheet of lexan separated us from the players and the flying puck.
Some real live Canadians watching the game next to us. The guys just past the kids must have drank well over $100 worth of beer during the game. They had a mountain of cups piled up on the ledge by the lexan. A player smashed into the barrier and sent all the cups flying.

They did lots of awesome power slides.
The home-town team didn’t win but it was still a good game. The game went into overtime and then into a final shootout.
