"Speak softly...

... and carry a big stick"

I wonder if this is what President Roosevelt was talking about carrying.  I guess that organized sports have made great strides in bringing countries closer together, so maybe it is.

A night on ice

My Dad got tickets to the Coyotes game last night and invited me and my boys to go with him. The seats were in a luxury suite and almost on center ice.  They gave us a great view of the ice.

 The jumbo screens were right in front of us which made it easy to watch the replays. 

We have not been to many games, so my boys enjoyed everything from watching the zamboni to watching the players change shifts.

We were staight across from the players benches, so we could watch the players and coaches.

In the last few minutes of the game, the Senators were down by 2 so they pulled their goalie in an attempt to catch up.  That almost backfired as the Coyotes almost scored an empty net goal several times.

We had a great time, and to top it off, the Coyotes were running a special where if they win, everyone in attendence could get a free ticket to another future hockey game.  We waited in line and got tickets for tomorrows game.

Best comment of the night was when my youngest son said "We should come to more games. Hockey is way better than baseball!"  I am a bigger baseball fan, but I enjoy pretty much any sport when I get the chance to watch it in person.  What about you?  What is your favorite sport?  Leave me a comment here or on my Facebook Fan page.
