I moved back to Calgary in 2000. for those first year especially my wife and I went to ALOT of Flames games, then kids came along, and it was less and less games in person (until the 04 playoffs where as a game pack holder we were able to put in a claim for the entire playoffs)..back onto the STH list from there
not alot of memories the main ones have essentially been pointed out
Everything about Iginla's 01-02 season. what a beast of a player. including the Olympic gold. I was staying at the same hotel as the Flames in Ottawa in early 2001- the Flames were off to a red hot start and Iginla was about to explode on the scene as one of the league's star players, but he wandered around the hotel lobby with zero fanfare. he stuffed a huge amount of cash into a collection box (united way or something like that) while I was checking out- I'm fairly positive I'm the only person who had any clue who he was
2. the Berube-Lowry-Vernon etc Ducks game
3. My wife winning the tricycle race at intermission and getting a signed Valeri Bure horsehead jersey for her troubles, and having to come back at the end of the year to race in the finals for a truck but by then several months pregnant LOL
