Last night was the first official game of hockey season. If you don't know, we are "Die Hard Ducks Fans." We have season tickets and love going to the games. John had to work last night, so it was just myself and the girls. We arrived at the stadium at 4pm so we could see all the players arrive and walk the red carpet. Much to our surprise, we ended up getting a handful of autographs, including Andrew Ebbett, B
obby Ryan and George Parros. The absolute highlight for me was that George, at my request, drew his mustache on my sweatshirt under his autograph. :) After the red carpet arrival, the girls and I headed out to pizza. It was such a fun time to talk about all the players and text John about all the players we saw and met. We then headed back to the stadium for game time. Opening Day ceremonies were awesome with Wild Wing taking to the ice with young hockey players skating circles around him with Ducks flags. After the introduction of all the players and National Anthem, the game began! The fir
st period brought a devastating 4 goals in a row by the San Jose Sharks. The Ducks FINALLY scored a single goal in the third period, but was such a sorry loss for the team. There was no shortage of fighting though with the first fight breaking out just 2 minutes into the game. Parros was on his best behavior with no fighting, but he didn't disappoint us by shouting at the Sharks as he leaned over the bench motioning his arms all around.

I am so proud of my little hockey fans!
