NHL Allstar weekend


Outside the RBC Center Saturday afternoon, Mark and I were enjoying the celebratory activities as Raleigh hosted the Hockey AllStar game.  

We were there with several thousand of my closest friends who were welcoming the players to the arena and as can be seen from the photo below, many wore team "sweaters" most of course of the Hurricanes, but some from all over the US and Canada.

As you can see, Mark forgot to wear his jersey as these Philadelphia Flyers fans obviously did not.

once inside the introductions to the first days skill competitions were dramatic and a big show.  We were glad we had our ear plugs too.

The AllStar skill competitions were speed skating, hockey puck shooting accuracy, obstacle course skating and more.  They did not have a Jack and coke competition , or Mark and I would have done well.
Tomorrow is the All Star game, we will be there.

    Like you guys know what is going on in a hockey match. I'll bet whenever there was "icing" you both ran for another adult beverage.
