Fighting on ice

On sunday Amy and Leigh took me to see the ice hockey. First a small girl comes out and sings the canadian national anthem, cue much shuffling of feet and looking around embarrassed. At least I had an excuse for not knowing the words. Then some men skate around very quickly chasing a rubber thingy and each team want to put the rubber thingy up each others goals. Like this...

Then you get a hotdog and some beer and a zeppelin comes out and drops things on the crowd

Sorry there's no pictorial evidence of the hotdog it didn't hang around very long. The zeppelin is then followed by a big hairy man in a buggy who shoots t shirts into the crowd

Then the men come on again to have a big skatey scrap, this is the moment when the vancouver men (I think that's what the teams called) nearly put the rubber thing up the other mens goal. But didn't

Anyway, I'm now an expert on the ice hockey as you can see. For those who are interested it was Vancouver Giants 1 (quite short for giants) Red Deer Rebels 3.
