Roughriders Hockey Game

On Saturday night I headed to the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena to see a hockey game.  It was a similar setup to the Kernels Game (check out the post if you've forgotten: http://kohawktalk-hailley.blogspot.com/2010/09/bam-awesomeness-fun-things-to-do-in.html)  For only $4 I got a ticket and a t-shirt which is a SWEET deal.

We got there early to see warm ups.  I had a strong urge to go ice skating when watching them, I love the contrast between the gracefulness of their skating and the violence of hockey.  After warm ups, the stadium really got rowdy.  It's called the "Stable" complete with lots of cowbells.  Their mascot is a horse and we tried to get a picture with him but failed.  We did get other pictures though which was a plus.

The Roughriders won, 6-3, and it was entertaining.  Every time a goal is scored, everyone gets up and starts dancing.  The place is so rowdy and intense, even when we were ahead.  The people that are there are really dedicated to the sport and that was a treat.

So another Saturday night win.  Hope to go back and see another game.  And also get a picture with that darn horse.
