It is that time of the year where the seasons change and we get to look forward to hockey season. I picked up my Abbotsford Heat Seasons Tickets tonight and next Friday October 14th is the home opener. There has been a number of changes with the team this year including new coaches and a new president along with some new players. The new president is Ryan Walter and it is interesting to listen to Ryan speak and listen to his passion about the game. A nice little bonus I picked up at the event this evening was a door prize. Kinda a large door prize….

There are 17 packets of coffee, two large cans of coffee, a glass mug, a travel mug and a metal coffee storage container.

Pretty nice surprise and I have a really nice basket which I think I might use for picnics.

Anyone up for a picnic!

Abbotsford Heat Hockey

Another good game tonight, played Hamilton Bulldogs, Montreal’s farm team. Pretty close game with chances at both ends and some big hits. I am still enjoying AHL hockey and find the level of play is still keeping me interested. Not to many nights do we see a bad or boring game. It is interesting to see how some players are developing and see them move up to the big teams. Even had an Elvis sighting tonight.

Got My Seat

Well I did it. Nothing spectacular really I renewed my Abbotsford Heat seasons tickets and upgraded my seats from the Red section to the Gold seats. As I was looking at the material concerning my season tickets it indicated 39 home games when the team normally plays 40 home games. I asked my ticket rep about the extra game and it turns out Abbotsford will play one ‘home’ game in Calgary. Now I have not heard this officially but as Calgary is playing an outdoor game in February it makes sense that Abby play outdoors as well. I am not saying that this is the plan but it does seem logical and Abbotsford will be playing a game in Calgary….

Either way I am going to Calgary for the Abbotsford game and plan on attending the Flames outdoor game as well. Road trip!

What the Heck is Happening

It is my favourite time of year, the weather is getting nicer, the days are getting longer and of course hockey playoffs are in full swing. As an added bonus the Abbotsford Heat, one of the new American Hockey League teams is in the AHL playoff race. As I am a season ticket holder I got to enjoy Abbotsford’s first full season of hockey and now hope to enjoy some playoff hockey in person.

Normally I look forward to watching a bunch of hockey as there are games every night but for some reason life has decided to interfere with my hockey enjoyment and almost a week into the first round and I have only seen parts of a couple of games. What gives doesn’t the world know I am in hockey mode, at least this week I will get to see three Abbotsford Heat games but it is not looking good for me to enjoy watching many games on TV. Too much on my plate at the moment and no end in sight. I think I need to find a cubbyhole to go hide for a bit. Oh well I will enjoy what I can when I can.
