Super Night Out
They were playing the Rockford Ice Hogs from Illinois. Gary also came along. It was the first ice hockey game we have attended this season.
As always, it was a lot of fun, spoiled slightly for me by the continuously flashing lights in the first and third periods of the game.
I have never noticed this before but it was really distracting. At some points I was shielding my eyes.
Philip thinks it is because of this Instagram nonsense.
It wasn't the crowd using cameras/phones but large flashlights overhead being used to take photos.
It will make me hesitate to go again.
This is a picture of the kids that came out to play in the first break.
They were very good, just lacking in the fighting skills that the adults have acquired.
The Admirals played well, fought well and sulked well.
They were blooming good even though they were not marching. They danced around a lot.
None came by us though, which is something of a blessing as it is often pursued by kids who will stop at nothing to clamber over everyone and everything in an attempt to grab a freebie.
Then we had a surprise.
They were setting up to do the competition....The Human Hockey Puck....when we noticed a bit of a celeb amongst the contestants.
It certainly looked like one.
Captain America had come to watch the Admirals and decided to take part in The Human Hockey Puck competition.
Woo Hoo....
Of course no one else stood a chance and he won.
Oh and the Admirals also won 4 - 1 which was a bonus.
The highlight of the evening for me was a huge, shaven headed guy sitting a couple of rows in front of us.
He was obviously a Rockford Ice Hogs fan, wearing an Ice Hogs shirt and going crazy when they scored their first ( and only goal).
Oh he did impress me.
He actually clapped every time The Admirals scored too.
Now that was being a good sport. A very good sport.
