It all started with the boys taking pictures of the players during warm ups and my two boys wanting to be on the ice with them. Buying season tickets has definitely increase their passion for hockey. All they talk about is skating to the point where I'm beginning to consider building a little ice rink in the back yard for them to burn off energy during the winter. Sounds like a good idea, huh?
The game was a hard fought game. The Express lead most of the game but Gwinnett came back to tie which caused OT then a shoot out. Unfortunately, the Express lost.
The game was on Sunday and part of their marketing is to have an open skate with the players after every Sunday home game. As my two boys were so excited, Logan was the first nonplayer to take the ice. Here are some pictures.

During the skate it was really cool as player, Pierre-Luc Faubert skated around the entire ice with a kid who could barely stand on the ice. It was awesome the compassion he showed to skate with this kid. These players will even say, "Thanks for coming out." Its an awesome family friendly environment.
Have a great day, time for a conference call.
