Second to Last Rat Home Game



I love hockey so much. I love the game, so fast-paced and exciting and deep. Jumping up and down, screaming for goals and overtime wins and our fighter beating up your "fighter". -_^

Over the ten(!) years I've been going to River Rat games I've met tons of amazing people. And you know what? The coolest and most interesting people I know aren't the players or the broadcasters or the front office people, but my 50/50 customers. I've grown to know them over the past five seasons by selling tickets and yelling "Fafty-fafty here!" in an obnoxiously loud voice.

Why you guys still walk up to me, with all that yelling, I'll never know.

Here's to my 50/50 customers! I love you guys! At tonight's game I had my picture taken with a bunch of them (thanks to my Mom, yea Mom!)... about half, I think. I'll grab the other half at Saturday's game. I want to share their pictures with you, so here we go!

These two ladies buy from me every game without fail. Once I got them within three tickets of the money! I'm still working on their winning ticket. ^_^

Matt. Just recently he saved someone's life by doing CPR! He kept a cool head and did what was needed in the situation. Way to go, Matt!

Kevin, on the right, is an off-ice offical. Often he runs the game clock or keeps order in the home penalty box.

Kevin and Company. Kevin is a farrier and his awesome conversations make a twenty minute intermission go by in three seconds flat. ^_^

Okay, that's it for now... I hope I get to see the rest of you Saturday! Feel free to leave a comment, especially if I messed up or have forgotten your name. :/

Aaron, you sound like my kind of hockey fan! That's really cool with the W thing. ~tries to make an R with her hands, but fails~

I totally have to go to a game with you now, you know that, right? -_^
