Pretty cool story, unbelievable experience for the kids. My minor team played the Flames in a practice during minor hockey week. Still remember Risebrough coming out dressed as Lanny. A couple of players stuffed a friend into the old hockey bag and dragged him off the ice. Before the Dome I believe.
We do minny minor day at Roger's Arena. It's pretty cool, announcers, starting lineup (every player), replays, siren, interviews between periods/games. We are down there for 12/14 hours with game after game. Really cool, really fun (more fun than a canucks game). Just to watch the expressions on the faces of the kids as they step on the ice. No coaches or players though. Seeing Hartley and Gelinas out there was awesome. To cool.
Great way to make up for a mistake.
