Seattle Thunderbirds!

So our friends the Mortensens have season tickets to the Seattle Thunderbirds hockey team. The gave us tickets to last Friday's game and it was a blast! What a great date night! Brandi had never gone to a hockey game and I had just gone to a few over the years. So here is a breakdown of the night:

Coolest guy ever; had to take a picture. These guys ride all around the free parking lots trying ot get you to pay them to give you a ride to the front door. I felt like I was in Mexico again! We told him no but he said he would do it for free to keep warm. I am all about supporting local business, especially in these times, so we took the "free" ride and gave him a couple of bucks. He also asked us to send him the picture, I believe for his website. So we will now be famous; watch for us.

Faceoff!

He was being dragged away from beating the crap out of our guy! Pretty good fights that night.

The oh so famous "Chuck-a-Puck" contest played in between the 2nd and the 3rd period. You can buy these rubber pucks to chuck at a new car and try to get it into the sunroof or try to get it into one of the buckets surrounding the car. Really fun to watch.

Zambonis

Tied up at the end of the game.

Sudden Death Overtime

We scored and won the game 3 min and 39 sec into the 5 minute sudden death period!

And of course the celebration!

So we don't know a ton about hockey but how can anyone not love to watch any live sporting event where fights are permitted and a game goes into overtime? Again, great date night!
