We finally got to a Utah Grizzlies game this past week. I have wanted to take the boys to a "real" hockey game since our last adventure with
hockey. I actually really like hockey and have been to a few games in my time (Utah State hockey is the BEST). Well, I guess I thought I knew hockey. We were given some great tickets to a Grizzlies game by one of my friend Jen/Elba and were thrilled to go watch a Grizzlies game. We got there and as soon as we sat down a HUGE fight broke out between the players. I have seen hockey "fights" before, but NOTHING like this one. The refs just sat there as these two players sat and punched each other over and over. The thing seemed to last FOREVER and those around us sat and laughed as I freaked out covering my boys' eyes. Don't they usually just push each other around, hitting pads and be done with it? Oh my goodness, it was CRAZY! Josh was parking the car so he was pretty sad that he missed it, but it was nuts.
Our seats were right behind the opposing team (Las Vegas something or other) which was fun and annoying at the same time. It was so fun to see what they were all doing and when the teams were yelling at each other as they came in from playing we got to see it (and I wish I weren't so good at reading lips...) But if they were all standing up we COULD NOT SEE! That didn't happen very often (except for the coaches...see annoying). But I think it was really cool to be that close.
My pictures are all crazy. My internet only works if I am in a docking station and the screen from our station is not calibrated correctly. Hence I edited the pics strangely. My hair is looking pretty green in this one (please let it be the calibration and let me NOT have green tinted hair).
It is always fun to be with Daddy. How fun also that our friend Nick from our old ward in Layton just happened to sit right next to us. Josh loved catching up with him. We think Nick is really cool.
So close!
This was one of the times that the players were yelling at each other. The refs had to come and separate them (someone please tell me why the let them duke it out sometimes and other times they give them penalties...I was so confused and nobody seemed to know)
This was the most random fight. This guy literally DOVE on top of some player. It was crazy. Do you have to have a bad temper to play hockey?
The game ended in a shoot out which was awesome. I always love a good shootout.
Except for when our team loses, which they did. It was sad, but still an AWESOME game and we had a ball!

hey we were at that game too! So fun! I am beginning to think that the fights are staged because both games we've been to the fights have been almost identical.
