Saturday, Scott went to his first (and probably only) hockey game. It just so happened to be Star Wars night at the Checkers game. This isn't the most flattering picture of either one of us, but it is proof that he was there.
The Checkers' did a wonderful job putting together Star Wars night. A great time was had by all. Not only were many of the fans dressed up as their favorite characters, but Obi Wan "Chubby" danced a tribute alongside of the Checkmates. There were plenty of video montages to watch or you could get your picture made with any number of characters from the movies. Here's a short video of some of the players giving their Star Wars impressions... (It's not pretty.)
But, the best moment of the night for me was when Jerome Samson finally put the beat down on Martin St. Pierre after St. Pierre had been chirping at him the whole night. This was only Jerome's 2nd fight in over 300 games if that tells you how irritated Samson was. Yes, I am one of the fans ringing a cowbell. :-)
I don't know that Scott will be going to anymore hockey games anytime soon but we had a great night out. The ACC championship was also in town at Panthers Stadium which unfortunately meant that the Blue Line was PACKED coming to and from the game. I'm sure the Florida State/Georgia Tech fans were wondering why there were so many hockey fans on the train. Especially the ones dressed as Star Wars characters!!!
I'm delighted to see Scott there with you, but why are the two of you not in costume? If you had gone in costume, which characters would you have been?
