Calgary Canucks Jr. A Home Opener

Bob is doing a little work with the Calgary Canucks Junior A team in the AJHL.  Since he is working with them, I got the invite to the home opener.  They had a parents' meeting before the home opener and afterwards a BBQ with some drinks.  It was a great chance to get to meet some of the parents of the kids and watch a good game.  The boys ended up winning 5-3 and it was a great home opener.  They started the season 0-4 after losing 3 of the games by a goal, and to make matters worse, leading going into the 3rd in all three of the games.  Here are a few of the photos from the day:

(Bob's daughter and one of her friends are having a good time before the game)


(Thanks to Wild Rose Brewery, Bob snagged this snazzy set up for the game)


(Here it is in action)

(You can tell the bleachers weren't exactly packed...)


(Mainly family and friends in the stands)


(The goalie, Colin Cooper, aka Coop between periods)


(The boys get ready to take the ice before the 2nd period - with a fancy camera, you have freedom to roam and take pictures.)


(Again, here they go)


(Post game celebration - it wasn't that close although the score was 5-3)
