This afternoon we went with some friends to see the Surrey Eagles play hockey. It's our local team that plays in the arena where Anders has had skating lessons. It's the BCHL. We found out when Anders went to get some players' autographs after the game that most are grade 12 or just beyond. They looked really young. Which, they were.
There were two other families, all with kids close in age--so that was fun for them. We were the only ones from our group on time for the singing of O Canada and the 1st Period puck drop. Nils was actually pretty into the first part of the first period. He was standing on Beth's lap making all sorts of excited noises. They did fairly well, considering it was 2 1/2 hours, start to finish. The other hockey game they've been at was for one of the kids from youth group. So Anders was expecting to see him on the ice. But instead, Winger the Eagle helped make it fun. He thought it was pretty cool to give him a high five. And during the 1st intermission between periods, they had some young (like really young--not much older than Anders) kids doing a hockey game. During prayer time tonight Anders said that one of the things he was thankful for today was the "cute hockey kids."
But the Surrey Eagles lost. Blast those Pentincton Vees.
