Aidan won a hockey stick! 10/29/2011
During the second intermission for the home hockey games there is an event called 'chuck-a-puck'. You pay a dollar for a puck, then throw that puck onto the ice and try to get it to land on a target. Cathy had bought some pucks for Aidan to throw on the ice last night. The first puck he threw actually hit the glass, bounced back, and hit a guy in the face! The guy was nice enough to pick up the puck and toss it back on the ice. Aidan then threw the rest of his pucks out onto the ice. When he was done he was upset because he said that he did not win anything. I asked him how he knew for sure, and he said that he watched each puck and they didn't land on a target. A few minutes later, while Cathy and Aidan were gone getting popcorn, they announced the winners. Aidan's name was called, but we had no idea what he had won. When him and Cathy came back he was carrying a hockey stick that was signed by all the Michigan Warriors, it was the main target! He was so excited!
He asked me to help him find Derek and Gabe's name on the stick, because they all looked like scribble to him. I told him it would be easiest to find Derek's name because of the O in his last name. Then Aidan asked me what a O looked like in cursive writing lol. I told him it pretty much looks like a regular O, he found it and got even more excited. We had Gabe help us find his signature. When he pointed it out Aidan asked where his number was (each player put their number next to their name). Gabe explained that he used to be number 29 so he accidentally put that number instead of 30, his Warriors number. It was really hard to see, especially because he added the number right into the signature. The stick also has pink tape around the handle, last night was 'Breast Cancer Awareness Night' at the game. We will be hanging the stick in his room. I am so happy that he was able to win such an awesome prize, now he will have something to remember this year forever.
