For Kevin's birthday I bought him tickets to the Portland Winterhawks. They are a professional junior ice hockey team based here in Portland. As we were walking into the game we started noticed everyone was caring teddy bears and other stuffed animals. We joked about how we didn't fit in, since we didn't have a bag of stuffed animals. It wasn't until the Hawks scored their first goal that we finally came to understand what all the bears were about. They were collecting them for a Christmas charity. And when they scored there first goal, everyone began throwing the stuffed animals onto the ice. It was really fun to watch. And in the end they collected over 10,000 stuffed animals.
But don't worry, this hockey game wasn't all soft and cuddly, there was plenty of fights and some really good knock outs and ejections to keep us entertained. In the end Winterhawks won and we were really impressed with the fun atmosphere of the game.
