Chicago Wolves Hockey Game

Saturday we went to the Chicago Wolves hockey game. It was part of my anniversary gift from Jimmy, so we bundled up James and headed out for a night of fun!
Wayne Messmer singing the National Anthem -- we were just a plate of plexiglass away from him and the guy who got honored that night -- Mike N. I believe -- one of the original owners/coaches etc of the Wolves.
CHELI!!!! Chris Chelios now plays for the Chicago Wolves -- a legend in the hockey world. His sons play(ed) for the Chicago Steel where John works.
James and I got a photo during warm-ups. He didn't stay in the Baby Bjorn for long as he wanted to flirt with all the ladies sitting around us, but it fulfilled its purpose as far as easily transporting him into the arena.
SO FUNNY!!! James showed his true hockey spirit by pounding on the glass to the away team's penalty box -- the kicker was that a player was actually going in to the box -- perfect timing! (Although I believe James was more interested in his own reflection in the glass than the player going in, but still hilarious)!
James LOVED the main score board with all its flashing lights and colors. He didn't care so much for the insanely loud introduction of the Wolves' players, but it was pretty cool to see -- they have a big wolf head w/ creepy green eyes and then flames burst out of fake mountains and they have fireworks go off in the stadium during introductions -- so loud! James took a snooze on me during the 2nd period but was back for more excitement (and more flirting w/ all the ladies around us) during the 3rd. He slept well for us that night, as usual!

  2. Sheryl, you should totally take the boys to a game -- James loves the bright white of the ice and the players skating across it!
