Canada's Biggest Fan
Time is going too fast, and despite squishing a lot into each day, there’s still much to do. And it’s bugging me.
Saturday I took in my first ever hockey game, and I’m hooked. It was a women’s qualifying game and it was awesome.
Yesterday I was a classic Vancouverite and walked the seawall ending up at the cauldron and sorry, but it’s more stunning in person.
By the way, crocuses, beach volleyball and snow-topped mountains all together – your city has gotten under my skin.
Sorry my blog is behind, gotta lot going on, I have lots of updates to add just trying to find the time to put them live. Thanks for your patience.
The Bell Cube gave me tickets last week, thanks again Jeff. Because now I am officially hooked on the game.
It was Russian VS Latvia’s Women’s Qualifying, intense:
And apparently watching the men is that much more intense plus they get to body check. Want to see.
1 – wait till 10 minutes after the event starts
2 – find a guy on the street yelling “tickets”
3 – throw out a ridiculously low number, at this point they are out money and want to recoup
4 – expect to pay like, 75% less than the face value
Common sense stuff, eh.
I have video of me telling you all this but doubt I’ll edit it.
If you can’t make it downtwon but want to celebrate the Games out in Richmond, here’s where you go: RichmondOzone.ca.
Also the site of the fabled Heineken House where a party so big happens each night it’s got a cult following in under a week.
Those are D’uh Hockey Guys, ten feet of fun.
