This red head will be the first to admit it there has been allot of negativity around here. We have been up to our collective whoo haas in nay saying in this year of transition in Chicago. So many friends are out of work, everyone is cutting back on spending and this horrid Chicago winter just doesn't seem to be ending. It has caused more than a bit of disruption in my usual sunny character. Then a comrade in arms sent us notice via the web of a wee ray of hockey sunshine from the south.
It seems the owners of the Mississippi Sea Wolves, a team who's arena was drowned in Hurricane Katrina has decided to give it's fans a reason to come out and smell the ice tonight and tomorrow tickets are $2.00, yes two bucks. Now that's what I call a stimulus package. After hearing the basics I had to call down to the team and find out if it was all true. I was connected quickly to Leif Skodnik a fellow exile from Buffalo NY who immediately told me of the glories of watching hockey and then playing golf in the same day .Ok Leif, rub it in, it's been a long winter up here. The Sea Wolves in their newly refurbished arena will be hosting the Carolina Stingrays for two games this week as part of the festivities leading up to fan appreciation night and last home game of the season. It is gratifying to see team ownership inviting families in rather than wringing their hands at empty houses in the recession . Why not fill seats at at $2.00? Who knows fans brought in tonight might be the next season ticket holders as soon as this recession lets up and jobs are more abundant. For now it's nice to see team owners just thinking of the fans for once.
