JAN 18, 14 (1/2) .. ICE HOCKEY IN ANCHORAGE ALASKA
The Sullivan Arena here in Anchorage Alaska is ‘like-home’ to Patti and myself. Going to ice hockey games is a fun evening-out that we truly enjoy!
The Alaska Aces Ice Hockey Team has a ‘Team Mascot’ named ‘Boomer’. You will see mention of ‘Boomer’ on our Subway Ticket Vouchers. Do you all see ‘Boomer’ at the bottom of each voucher?
Before and during each game .. ‘Boomer’ is quite-the-attraction.
And I MEAN ‘Boomer’ really interacts with the crowd all throughout the game.
The children JUST LOVE ‘Boomer’!
Within the Sullivan Arena is .. ‘Zilla ‘Ol Buddy-Buddy can you guess? .. a Subway Sandwich Shop!
“Lord Love A Duck” I LOVE my Subway Sandwiches!
Now some Ice Hockey .. looking down from up-in-the-rafters at the playing surface ..
Patti and I love to get to the arena nice-and-early to see the teams pre-game practice session.
Looking across the ice from our seats at the two teams ‘players benches’ ..
GAME TIME! A few scenes from our most recent game .. Friday evening .. January 17th 2014 ..
Our National Anthem .. The Star Spangled Banner and our flag is still here!
GAME TIME!
Intermission between each of the three periods .. the Zamboni ice resurfacing machines doing-their-thing!
Back to ice hockey ..
One-On-One .. a break-away against the goalie .. He Shoots .. He Scores! .. The Alaska Aces WIN THE GAME 3-2 IN OVERTIME! ..
The players are happy ..
And Cap is happy!
Patti surprised me a year-or-so ago with a ‘Team Jersey’ .. I really like the Aces team colors .. a BIG THANK YOU PATTI for the gift of the jersey and for snapping the above photo .. what fun we have at the Aces games!

And CAP IS REALLY HAPPY! Study the Sullivan Arena ‘Scoreboard’ ..
In the extreme upper left hand corner of the above photograph you will see the number 49. This is the number of shots-on-goal for the Alaska Aces during last night’s game. To the upper right you see the number 24 .. which is the number of shots-on-goal for the Las Vegas Wranglers team.
IF THE ALASKA ACES shoot forty (40) or more shots-on-goal during a game .. a local restaurant .. The Outback Steak House ..
GIVES A FREE STEAK DINNER
to all the fans in attendance at the game!
OH YES CAP AND PATTI ARE HAPPY .. WE GOT A FREE STEAK DINNER!

WITH JOY TO YOU ALL! I wish you all could come to Anchorage and see the Alaska Aces Ice Hockey Team play a game at the Sullivan Arena! And you too might just win a free steak dinner at the Outback Steak House!
MUCH JOY FROM CAP AND FROM PATTI ..
