Avalanche Game!

For Christmas Abby gave Paul tickets to an Avalanche game at the Pepsi Center downtown Denver. This was the first professional hockey game the Hoveys experienced, having great seats to see plenty of close up views of elbows, shoulders, faces, you name it meet the glass. We were amazed that the fights broke out less than a minute into the game and consequently the players sent directly to what Abby liked to call "time out". Paul enjoyed teaching Abby the meaning of various calls and helping her understand the ins and outs of the game. Although the Avs got creamed 6 to 1 by the Blue Jackets, we still had a great time!

Abby taking it all in! Notice the winter coat still on...it was cold close to the ice!

They had this crazy light show and dramatic music before the game and after every intermission before the Avs would come in.
