Pre-Season Pink
October 12, 2007
We managed to score two free awesome-seat tickets to the Alaska Aces pre-season game last night, and then managed to get two more tickets. All of the players wore pink jerseys, and they painted the rink pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness.
A portion of all sales went to cancer awareness, and after the game they auctioned off the pink jerseys. One of the jerseys went for $4700!
Highlights of the night include:
- The look of horror on Steve's brother's face when presented with a baby pink scarf he was expected to wear.
- Resisting the urge to yell, "Take it off!" to old classmate Katie Jo as she blabbed on and on about some breast cancer statistics between periods.
- Sitting so close I could see spit and hear swear words when the players slammed each other into the plexiglas.
- Steve's brother pulling a questionably kinky hair from his bucket of popcorn.
- Running into Danielle in the bathroom, because I would never see her if it wasn't for Aces games.
- The giant fight right at the last buzzer of the last period, resulting in a player taking down a referee and then getting kicked out of the game.

Sounds like a fun outing - I love the idea of a pink hockey rink and game. Love it!
It was a lot of fun, but the pink ice made it difficult to watch the puck and even more difficult to see the lines. Still, it was a good appetizer for the start of the season.
I was also with Lucas Bacher and Jenci that night too! We like to pick on him cause he dated Katie Jo in junior high.
The little hockey player looks so cute in his little pink outfit! What fun!
I LOVE hockey- the only sport I can honestly say I enjoy watching. Must have grown up in Alaska...
