SCSU Hockey!

Nate and I went to a hockey game recently with friends.
So much fun.
I would like to clarify that hockey is not that meaningful to me.
I was there to support Nate's love for the game.
And for the complimentary popcorn.


See how much fun this was?

Lots of people we love were there!

St. Cloud State was playing Michigan Tech.
I don't know much about hockey but I know that Michigan Tech
. . . doesn't win hockey games.

There are lots of things I love about hockey games though. Like the zambonies. Zambonii?

Especially zambonies that look like grocery carts. Those are my favorite.

It might be hard to tell in this picture, but my other favorite thing at SCSU hockey games?
Ice-skating cheerleaders!
It wasn't until I married Nate and he forced me to go to hockey games with him that I realized such a thing as ice-skating cheerleaders existed! I'd never seen the like!
Oh goodness do I ever get a kick out of them.

There are also lots of other fun things that happen. Like when cars drive out on the ice.

And the Blizzard Blimp drops envelopes full of freebies.
We didn't get a freebie. And that was okay.

My other favorite thing! The Kiss Cam! I have waited for *years* to be on the kiss cam!!

Nate's a little terrified of being caught on the kiss cam. Especially because when the kiss cam came around at this game, he wasn't even sitting by me, but was sandwiched in between a bunch of guys. That would have been awkward.

As a side note, the game was also going on during all of this.
Saint Cloud whooped Michigan Tech 3-0.
But I brought my knitting so I wouldn't have to be too concerned about the score.

We had so much fun! I LOVE hockey games!!
