Hurricanes' Hockey Game

Friday night we took our youth to a Hurricanes game. I had never been before and neither had Jon. It was a first for our family. Ava borrowed a cheerleading outfit from the Marshalls. She loved it and was a pretty good cheerleader I might add. She got the hang of "Go Canes, Go" by the end of the night. We had a blast and would love to go back...it is hard to believe we have been here in this area for five years and this was our first game. It won't be our last!
The game itself was very exciting. The Canes were actually down but came back to win 5-2...the last of the two goals the Canes scored were scored in the last 2 1/2 minutes of the game. Their first three goals were all made by Eric Staal. It is called a hat trick when the same person scores three goals in one game...immediately after his third goal people started throwing their hats on the ice. There were probably around 100...we wondered what happened to those hats after they got picked up off the ice...who knows?!

Ava is ready to cheer the Canes on to victory!
