It’s a dual-purpose event. The season-ticket holders get their packages and gifts, then meet the lineup. This year we have a pair of new goalies, a few changes with the regular skaters and a new coaching staff. Sad to see the two Daves get fired but it’s easier to blame them for a bad season than sack the team.
This year’s gift was a portable chair. Not an uncomfortable, metal folding chair. A cooler one with a cup holder, made of canvas I think. It’ll come in handy with waiting in queue outside and when Somara kills time while I skate at the Northcross rink.
I think the Stars are looking great. We have a couple Swedes, a vet from the Milwaukee Admirals, two guys who should be in Dallas pinching in (thanks lock out!) and a dude from France.
Season opens for us Saturday with our first home game this Sunday against the Checkers.
