Go Wildcats! (another guest entry)

celebration.jpg[guest entry by the wife]

We picked a good time to start going to UNH hockey games. Saturday night's 5 to 1 win over Boston college clinched the Hockey East regular-season championship. We've gone to three games now and I've learned a few things:

  • The Whitimore Center is cold and waiting in the funnel of people to climb the stairs on the way back to A lot is even colder
  • Getting tickets by signing up for an "alumni event" is like getting a free weekend away to a place that sells time-shares - you have to sit through the presentation where they try to get you to give them your money.
  • There are seats with backs in the last row of the student section!
  • Doesn't matter that there are seats with backs because everyone in the student section stands up through the entire game.
  • I'm getting too old to stand up through an entire hockey game. It's to the point where I'm actually glad to see the TV commercial light come on because it means I can sit down for a couple of minutes. :p
  • Walking by the concession stand with the shirts/hoodies/jerseys gave me an idea for Mr P's upcoming birthday.
  • UNH is ranked 2nd in the NCAA.
  • The current UNH goalie Kevin Regan, who was the Defensive Player of the Week in Hockey East for the past two weeks, is a senior. Translation: it could be a very different experience next season.
  • My plan to turn YouWho into a hockey fan might have actually started working (insert evil maniacal laugh here).
  • There is a 10 year waiting list for season tickets, so I have a while to carry out my plan.

But did they have good beer? Idea for Mr.P, huh? He's going to love it! I love the guest entries; so nice to be reading some posts here.

No beer served at NCAA events...you have to drink your Natty Light BEFORE going to the Whit!

It is strange to read about sports on this blog.

Yeah, no Bass on tap like at the Capitals game. :( That was one perk of the alumni event, there was a cash bar at the alumni center before the game. Having a Sam Adams did help to make the presentation go faster.

Talking about strange, you should have heard YouWho talking about how great the game was the next day. :-D

You are so lucky that you can still watch your college team play... I miss hockey nights.
