Texas Part Three-ICE Hockey

Stars WIN 6-3 over the Anaheim Ducks!!!  My oldest brother Karl works for the NHL during some of the Stars games making sure video and audio connections to Canada are in working order and making sure when there is an official call or interview that the players or refs are taken care of with the proper equipment.  He got us cheap tickets to the game he was working at on November 26, 2013.  It was all three of our first official hockey game!  It was fast pace and so exciting.  I learned that you can not push the puck into the goal with your skate but if it bounces off your skate into the goal it counts.  I still don't know what Icing is unless you're talking about a delicious topping on doughnuts but I know what Sticking is!  That one is a little obvious!  It was a fun night minus the rude lady in front of Emma that complained about her chair being bumped.  When you pay for cheap seats you get your chair bumped from time to time and had it been an adult behind her and not a child she would not have had the guts to say a word.  Still a great time!  My favorite part was watching players get slammed into the glass.  Does that say anything about me?  Don't read into that!!!

View from our seats which was actually better than this.  We really saw a lot of the actions and the players really don't look like ants!  The rest was with the zoom on my camera!

In the control box.  My brother is the bald one without the head set.

GOAL!!! and then a fight!!!!

My big brother Karl at the end of the game.  Again, the bald one!
