Anyway, Aaron is a HUGE HUGE HUGE San Jose Sharks (Hockey) Fan!! Our friend who has season tickets to the Minnesota Wild (Hockey) knew this and gave Aaron his tickets for the game this past week. Really sweet tickets! We invited our friends who've always wanted to go to professional Hockey game, on one condition that they cheer for the Sharks. For those of you outside of Minnesota, let me just say Minnesotans take their hockey seriously. This is the land of hockey! So we were definitely in the minority that night.
Aaron just conveniently had four Shark jerseys too, for all of us to wear. I have to say, wearing the jersey made it even that much more fun!! People were heckling us, and the concessions people threatened to charge us more. It was fun. At one point Kathy, my friend, had stood up and cheered really loud when the Sharks scored an amazing goal, and people started throwing food at us. I got hit by popcorn that was aimed at her. Ha ha, I was proud to get hit.
Kathy and Spencer Lake, they were good sports..
Hockey is definitely one of my favorite sport to watch live (next to Volleyball). The whole game we were on the edge of our seats. It goes so fast. It was also crazy, how much we all want to see a fight. When there is even a hint of commotion with the players everyone in the arena jumps up and starts cheering/yelling, even us! I felt so barbaric. It was awesome!
A shot if the players...
Randomly, even some of the cast of Star Wars showed up...
Thanks for tickets and a great night Cammacks!

How fun! I LOVE hockey. It is definitely my favorite sport to watch, although I don't have a favorite team. =)
Looks like a fun time. I love that Aaron happened to have FOUR sharks jerseys. Too funny.
Talk about GOOD seats. I am completely jealous! I haven't been able to scream at a sporting event since you guys left town.
You certainly are gutsy to go to the Excel in those jerseys - talk about standing out from the "beloved" Wild (how beloved are they really - it used to be the NorthStars - whatever.) I am not a hockey person but I have 3students in my class who play on the university team (currently in the NCAA tourney) and 2 of my students have already been drafted pro after they graduate - whoa! Not sure I'd want to have that as my career - pretty much guaranteed to have an mullet, missing teeth, and a few too many concussions. Compared to that - getting his with popcorn would be fun (even if you were overcharged for your M & Ms.)
So fun. I have to say it was nice to see your face on the other side of tha camera for once!!!! I love Aaron...relly 4 jerseys...is that necessary!!!! Yes, I know it is. GOOOOOOOOO SHARKS!
I love that you got heckled and food thrown at you. What a fun night.
