In a hurricane
By Carrie | February 26, 2008
This blog title has multiple meanings. At work, things are a bit “interesting” to say the least! Oak says I’m a NINJA… Exciting! Despite the mania, we went to our very first Carolina Hurricanes hockey game last week. Though they play only a few miles from home, we haven’t felt the urge to spend the money to go see a game (heck, after going for practically free in college it’s hard for me to actually pay to go to any sporting events). Anyway, one of Oak’s coworkers passed along some tickets, so we got to attend our very first ‘Canes game.
I forgot that I do actually enjoy watching hockey. We went a lot at school because there wasn’t much else better to do, plus I enjoyed eating the chipwiches (two chocolate chip cookies with ice cream sandwiched in the middle! delicious!). There’s always a lot of action, and the plus to the NHL games is that they actually allow some fighting. Of course everyone stands up and gets worked up when that happens! I was surprised to see some things that I thought were unique to college hockey - the group chants (”you suck!”), the big ugly-sounding horn when there are goals, the screaming of the word “RED” during the star-spangled banner (perhaps just an effect of both teams having red as their color), and the ridiculous happenings in between periods. All a good time. It made me slightly RPI-nostalgic. Except there were no chipwiches. Sigh! Maybe we’ll find them next time.

Yeah..I hear ya about the price of going to the games. Felt the same about our first Panthers game and we went for the same reason!! Free tickets handed to us! lol Those cookies and icecream do sound yummy. I think Oak needs to whip some up from scratch!! ding.
