On Friday, October 14th, Elise treated me out to a hockey game night for my birthday. Unknown to me, she had purchased two tickets for the Cedar Rapids hockey team’s home game against Souix City. Having never been to a Rough Rider game before, we enjoyed checking out the ice arena and soaking in the experience. The game turned out to be quite the blowout going in to the 3rd period at 3-1, but ending the game with the Rough Riders winning 10-2! It was a fun game to watch and I particularly enjoyed my souvenir cup filled with malted beverage and sitting in the 3rd row. The seats allowed us to be up close to the action which was pretty exciting. Attempts to capture the players skating past with my phone’s camera usually ended in a blur, but here are a couple shots that turned out alright:
