We have a local hockey team in our area and since we haven’t been to one of their games in a long time, it sure seemed like a good idea for tonight. The weather was cooperating so we hurried up after work to get ready and then we were off. We stopped at a local restaurant/bar for some sandwiches to hold us over until we get to the game. After all most hitting a deer on the way (which would not have been very cool at all!) we finally found a parking spot and headed into the hockey arena. The team that we were going to see were the Waterloo Black Hawks.
It seemed like there was a smaller crowd than what we’re used to seeing , but we think the reason was because there was a big concert in town that a lot of people were going to go to. And for us, it was Daryl, Kyle and myself. William couldn’t make it tonight. But we found our seats and it wasn’t long until the puck was flying – literally!
It landed a row in front of us when it flew out of the arena. I think those players are just awesome in how they can skate so fast and not just forwards but also backwards and I swear even sideways sometimes. I told Daryl that we needed to bring some of these guys to the roller skating rink and show the 8 year olds that adults really can skate. OK, back to the game, the Black Hawks ended up crushing their opponent and I found out later that by winning that game the Black Hawk Hockey Team beat the previous record for straight wins. The record is now 16th consecutive wins and is held by them.
After the game we went back to our car and it was really cold. Now it was only around 8 below at the time, but it was a very cold 8 below! And even though William couldn’t join us, it was a fun thing to do on a cold Friday night.
