Friday night was ice hockey night. We went down to Raleigh, to the amazing RBC stadium, to see the NC Hurricanes play the Washington Capitals.
Not only was this the first ice hockey game I have even seen it was the first professional sporting event I have been to, ever.
We both had a good time and are keen to see another game. Ice hockey was graceful and smooth whilst at the same time violent and grubby. Three fights broke out, although we think the first one was staged. The only complaint we have was that there were too many game-breaks.
Go 'Canes!
The RBC stadium - picture the stadium in Harry Potter and you get close. (This picture is of basket ball, not ice hockey, but you get the idea)
The NC Hurricanes in action.

You'll have to try the Football next. Thats a great spectacle, and I'm sure professional cheerleaders would add that certain something!
Cheers, Tim.
Actually I think it will be baseball or lacrosse next.
I will always support the Vancouver Canucks, although they are the only team I have a remote link to. I watched the grand final of the Stanley cup where the Edmonton Oilers wer eventually defeated by the NC hurricanes. In this age of global warming, don't you find these teams a little ironic? Go Canada!
