At the Good’ole Hockey Game

Nov. 9th | Posted by 4 comments

Last night I went to see Jrock play hockey for the first time – he’s been playing in a rec league since September and is really enjoying it. 

It’s freezing in the stands at the Capital News Centre, but I brought some hot chocolate and our picnic blanket, and I got to sit with one of the young ladies from my work, whose boyfriend is on the same team.  Here are some pictures from the game:

Period one.  Wait a sec… is that J in the penalty box?

Period two…  Maybe he just wanted to be near his adoring fans, because he’s back in the penalty box again.  I’m sure he was keeping warm stuffed between two other team members – I, on the other hand, had run out of hot chocolate!

Period three.  Well, the time is passing by quite quickly.  I know nothing about hockey, but I can tell Jrock’s team is now getting very frustrated and sloppy and is starting to substitute body slams for worrying about the puck.  And wait -> is that Jrock in the penalty box again?

Well, the game is almost over (they lost 8 to 3) so I’d better get some action shots – I’ve only got fan photos of Jrock in the penalty box.  I stand up, take off the blanket and move to the plexiglass… but where is he going?

Seems J was thrown out of the game.  My peaceful, calm and polite husband is a bruiser.  HILARIOUS.  We all have a dark side of our personality – I guess his is on the ice.

So it wasn’t that torturous watching… I’ve agreed to go back once again this season.  Jrock says he’ll try to stay in the game until the end next time :-)

    Too funny! Did you at least get to hang out in the locker room after the game and drink beer with the boys (after the guys had showered & changed, of course)?

    Heck no! He was out of there like a light – of course, he had a jump start on cleaning up by a few minutes :-)

    Perhaps it’s not customary to bring your woman along for beers after? I dunno. In any case, I was ready to go home and go to bed!

    Ha! That brings back memories of playing hockey with Jay. He hardly ever took a penalty but if someone got under his skin they better watch out cause he would head after you stick swinging.

    I thought you guys would find it amusing – he’s like Dr Jekel in real life bt My Hyde on the ice~
