We went to a great Hockey game Friday night! It was the Rockford Icehogs against the Chicago Wolves. We were for the Icehogs, since they are about an hour from us and we go to the games when we can. They recently sold the icehog team we always saw, and so we don't know the new players yet. When we got there they were giving away little hockey players. There were three of, I suppose the best players, on a little stand. We had no idea they were even having a give a way. Jim and I both got one. Then the game was very exciting ending in a shoot out, then going to a sudden death overtime. {or maybe that's vice versa, we don't go to enough games for me to know all the rules 
} We had never seen it in person though, just on t.v. Anyway our team won! Yeah! Chicago is the number one team in the league, and we are the number two. They have all sorts of things going on at the game. They have a big screen up by the ceiling in the middle of the field, and once we were even on it, in the crowd. I had a green blouse on that really stood out among all the red of the ice hog shirts most people were wearing. 
They have another thing where if they put the camera on a single couple in the audience they have to kiss. One old couple refused to kiss. LOL! We weren't shown on that one. :)They have so many things to make the game fun even if you lose. We had so much fun.

Hubby finally talked me into going to a game that his place of business was paying for, and since then I've loved it! ;D It's really fun when you are right there. We love going now, although it's a hour from us so we don't go as often as we'd like. 
That wasn't what I meant, I meant hoped yours wasn't losing. I don't know much about the Chicago team, so didn't care if they won or not. I've just been to the local games. Glad your team won! ;D
