On Sunday, November 4th, we all went and watched our local ECHL team, the Alaska Aces, defeat the Florida Everblades 4-1. It was a great game and Connor seemed to enjoy watching the players skate around. He didn't like the loud noises too much and got a little fussy at the end, but he seemed to have a great time. Hopefully, he will go to more games and may even follow in his father and brother's footsteps and become a hockey player himself. By the way-check out those beautiful baby blues in the 2nd picture!
Kierin really enjoyed the game-his favorite part is when the Aces score, which they did four times on this particular night. On Sunday games, which are at 5:05 instead of the regular time of 7:05, the Aces hold a "Skate with the Aces" event. After the game, kids and parents are encouraged to put on their skates and skate around the Sullivan Arena ice. The Aces players are out there and sign autographs and talk with fans. It is really a great idea and Kierin met goalie Chris Beckford-Tsue, winger Bo Cheesman (who scored the 2nd goal) and defenseman Peter Metcalf. It is so funny, because this rowdy little boy would get so incredibly shy when meeting a real-life Ace! We tried to meet Boomer, the mascot, but the line was w-a-y too long.
