My nephew Mark had a great idea and acted on it. He got a bunch of his uncles and cousins together and we all went to an Abbotsford Heat game. That is our home hockey team, a member of the AHL, one notch below NHL. I don't get out to many games so this was a treat for me. The caliber of hockey is excellent. The action is non stop and the pace is blistering. These young athletes are competing for a spot on their parent team in the NHL and can only achieve that by impressing the managers, coaches, and scouts. There is a lot at stake so they go flat out the whole game.
The Heat were on a bit of a losing streak until last night so it was good to see them win, in a shoot-out, after overtime. There is always a good turnout when the Heat play the Manitoba Moose, the farm team of the Vancouver Canucks.
It was great way to spend a Friday night. Thanks, Mark.
