Flames, Penguins & Hitmen

Jake & I were blessed enough to snag tickets to the much coveted Flames/Penguins game this week. Friends of ours won game day tickets too - we had a blast together! Here's a pic of Harvey the Hound catching site of Jake decked out in his Pens hat & Crosby jersey. We were in the first row of this section. Harvey grabbed the railing, stood over Jake & put Jacob's head into his mouth.

Here's the opening face off. The game went to a shoot out - Pittsburgh won 3-2. Jake was thrilled. Although Crosby was held off the scoresheet he was quite something to watch. He has great hockey sense, very smooth & strong on his skates.

The warm up!

The whole fam attended the Hitmen game last Sunday with Joel's hockey team. The game featured the annual teddy bear toss. Fans bring teddy bears to the game to toss on the ice after the Hitmen score their first goal.

The Hitmen scored within the first five minutes of the opening period - the rain of teddy bears began and continued for 1/2 an hour!

When the bears were all collected they totalled 26,919 (a new record) which the Hitmen distributed to local charities & hospitals.
