Well, Jack has now experienced his first sporting event. And as much as it may pain Josh and I to say in the future, but this milestone event was an ice hockey game! Can you believe it? One of Josh's fellow ER physicians has season tickets to the Thrashers game and offered us a pair of tickets. We've both always heard how much fun they are to attend, so we took him up. We arrived with only 3 minutes left in the first period and Jack was fast asleep on Josh's lap.
Sometime in the second period the Thrashers scored and the place went nuts. An obnoxiously loud siren went off, a fire breathing Thrasher appeared and needless to say Jack was awake! After he ate, he was pretty content to sit on my lap and watch the hockey game or at least look around. He was quite a cutie and so well behaved.
Unfortunately, the Thrashers gave up two more goals and lost 2-1 to the Vancouver Canucks. Overall, it was a lot of fun and we got to see two fights. One with the guys ripping off their gloves and helmets to go at it. Of course, they were both sent to the penalty box for 5 minutes, but it was worth it. I don't know much about hockey, but I do know that it's not much of a game without a good fight.
