Since our time in Michigan, Troy has loved hockey. His favorite team is the Detroit Red Wings. He watches it as much as possible on tv (when his sisters allow it). He was overjoyed when we were invited to attend a hockey game with some friends Friday night. We got to experience minor league hockey at its finest while cheering on the Ontario Reign. There were dumb games for the fans, off-beat cheerleaders, Zamboni rides, fights, big boxes of over-salted popcorn and some great hockey! Troy was on the edge of his seat for most of the game holding his ticket in hand the whole time. Our friend, Vonn, was determined to get Troy a seat down by the ice, but it was not meant to be...for long. On the second try they got down right by the glass for a total of 7 minutes until a fight broke out right in front of them and alerted the attention of the seat Nazi's who kept a close eye on the empty season ticket holder's seats. Vonn and Troy were sadly escorted back to their original seats. Bummer, but Troy still loved it!

Funny how everyone stands up to watch a fight. (Love Garret's face.)
