Pearson came to the rink this morning with what joe called "chops" and "fu man choo" mustache. Well, for tonight's game he got rid of the "chops" and left a sweet mustache. He said that if he scores he will keep it the rest of the year. Lets hope he keeps it all year. I will try and get a picture of him.
Warm ups is over and I don't have anything to do. We brought Phil, one of my equipment assistants, so I have a little more time to blog. (That's not really the reason he came.)
Matt McIlvane's parents are in attendance tonight. It is great to see such great support from family for this team. I know we have seen many family members this season. Matt is another of our great rookies.
The worst part of the game is waiting for things to do. I would much rather be busy during the intermissions. However, I have had intermissions that are way to busy, so I should not complain. The guys looked like they are ready to go in warm ups.
I recently received a question about the #99, which is funny, because on the way up here we watched the espn documentary about Wayne Gretzky. There is no rule in the minor leagues about wearing the #99, but no one wears it out of respect to Wayne and what he did for the sport. I had the opportunity to meet Walter Gretzky, Wayne's dad, when I worked in motor city. Brent, his brother played for our team. His dad came down a few times to watch our games. What an awesome experience.
Here's to a good game!
