Hey, Hey Hockeytown?????













































Today was an absolutely beautiful day. We started off early, grabbed some breakfast and headed for the RBC Center to catch the Canes preseason home opener. We had to arrive early and get in line for the free tickets. They put on a big show for the opening day. As we waited in line, the boys had a blast, rollerblading, playing hockey and playing football. It was a great day for something like this. Once we got our tickets we headed to the Caniac Carnival where they had tons of stuff to do. They had a live band, bmx stunt bikes, slot cars, face painting, tons of inflatables & moonwalks, an autograph session, street hockey and an outdoor ice rink with synthetic ice (see video of Owen above). It was really cool and a great place for the family. The pic of Owen in the bucket was an attraction they had where you get in and stomp grapes to make juice. He thought it was pretty cool. After hitting the carnival for a few hours, we went back to the car and tailgated and had lunch. Then came the most boring part of the day, the game. I am not sure of the outcome since we left after the 2nd period (2 tired kids), Canes were down 2-0. Overall, it was a great day and a really fun event, we will definitely be back next year.
Take care & Go Wings!

  3. That looks like a great time. O, good job on the ice. Has roller hockey started yet? Just I was sure you would skate, did you? By the way the new saying in Detriot is Go Lions.
