Saw my first concert at The Corral - Rush in about 1983.
Saw the Sutter brothers go after the fans vs the Wranglers.
In Scouts, our team won the Ice Jamboree, pulling around a mini-chuckwagon. A person at the back had to hold a tow rope to keep the sled from crashing into the boards.
I remember seeing the Wrigley Midget tournament - it became Air Canada. There was a really good player from Calgary, but he only had one eye, and wasn't allowed to play in the NHL?

We may have covered this before, but I was there too! New World Man tour?
edit: Just read CliffFletcher's post and your reply - it was the Signals Tour. The t-shirt I bought on the way to the Corral from some dodgy looking guy wasn't official merchandise, and had 'New World Man' on it with something that looked like a lizard on it. By the time I got in the Corral, I didn't have enough money left for the real deal.
That was also my first concert. I'm going to discount seeing 'The Kidz' at Hollywood Roller Gardens.
The first hockey I saw at the Corral was the Calgary Stampeders getting their asses handed to them on a plate by the Kimberley Dynamiters. I went to that as an end of soccer season team celebration.
One of the dads chaperoning us came up the steps to the seats carrying a load of popcorn. As he got to the top of the steps a pre game warm up puck came flying over the glass and hit him in the nuts.
Popcorn flew everywhere and a bunch of 10 year old boys were in hysterics.
