They have a good young team and a lot of places to enjoy yourself in at the landing. I feel bad that I just heard about your trip and I commend you on your feat. I am heading out for an east coast baseball trip this summer I hope. Anyway, congrats on your trip and GO BLUES!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538796643340288991.post-33627522712882164782007-11-20T00:00:00.000-05:002007-11-20T00:00:00.000-05:00Desdemona,I met all these great people along the w...Desdemona,<BR/><BR/>I met all these great people along the way.

(or do Australian ice hockey players have a special talent for keeping the puck down low?) Interesting (albeit unsettling) to hear the lack of glass. Even the smallest of small-town rinks in Canada has glass, that I'm aware of (not outdoor ones though)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538796643340288991.post-69290979509945555062007-11-19T02:17:00.000-05:002007-11-19T02:17:00.000-05:00I suppose there's an advantage to not having glass...I suppose there's an advantage to not having glass here in Australia. At the end of each home game the fans (kids mainly) run down from the stands and clamber onto the boards (usually before they have a chance to pull back the nets).<BR/><BR/>The players drop off their helmets, gloves and stick at the benches and come over to talk to the fans and sign autographs. Often the players know the fans and kids by name and some of the littlest even get picked up and get skated around by their favourite player.<BR/><BR/>This really builds a great relationship with the players and inspires our young juniors<BR/><BR/>There is, of course, one drawback to this, if anyone has ever been up close and personal with a hockey player immediately after a game!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538796643340288991.post-31667629483115927552007-11-18T15:03:00.000-05:002007-11-18T15:03:00.000-05:00Well, I guess it was bound to happen - exhaustion,...Well, I guess it was bound to happen - exhaustion, that is.<BR/><BR/>Do you have a "host for the day" in each city (as per your final Edmonton post)? If so, did you start out your venture with these people planning to escort you to their favourite restaurants/hotels/cheap parking or did they introduce themselves along the way?<BR/><BR/>Before Edmonton went on their Cinderella run to the playoffs, they did not sell out every game. Do you (or any other reader) know if they had that open lounge before then? That is definitely awesome, and probably a lot more fun to witness after a win.<BR/><BR/>- desdemonaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
