OMC Night at the Steelheads Game Report by Rowdy

 


Guest blogger: Rowdy

Duke provided a very fun evening for a few OGRES members and their families. The day began with Bomber graciously doing ticket handoffs for the few OGRES members who were able to participate. 

Tickets were slated for Bomber and his lovely wife Brenda, G-Man and his better half Sherri, G-Man's handsome young buck Nate, Rowdy and his gorgeous babe Diane and Jim & Marcie Crawford who were invited by Rowdy. By midday, Rowdy learned the tickets were not all spoke for and convinced his son, Jake, to take advantage fo the opportunity by bringing Jess, the girl he is dating.

The last minute invitees further prove young people either (1) rarely have important things going on or (2) will drop anything for a free event where Dad pays for the snacks.

Speaking of snacks, the nacho plate was monstrous and who knew authentic poutine (gravy covered fries...one of the most famous Canadian dishes) were served for the local restaurant.

Rowdy spent a great deal of time explaining the rules to the other participants as icing the puck, line changes and power plays were not understood by all attendees. However, the game was quite engaging with the home team going behind early, tying the score, pulling ahead and then an empty net goal during the final minutes of play. Bomber and Brenda left a little early to attend a very important basketball game but all others stayed until the end and witnessed the empty net goal as the Steelheads won 3-1.

Unfortunately, the only picture taken did not include all of the OGRES members - mental note for next time - but suffice it to say, all had a great time.

Big shout out to Duke for thinking of the OGRES brothers when he had tickets to spare. Thanks!
