Puck Drop Party

Over the weekend I attended a Puck Drop party put on by the Detroit Red Wings organization. It is a little something they do to show their appreciation for people that purchased season tickets for the Detroit Red Wings hockey team. This is something they have been doing for some time now. OK, before we get started, a little disclaimer. Not only am I not a season ticket holder but I also did not attend a single game unless watching on TV counts. I was fortunate in that my sister lives next to someone who is a season ticket holder and they gave her the tickets for the event since they would not be able to attend.

Here is the simple page that you received when you came it. It was a road map to what all was going on and where it was located.



Now here is something that I really like. Stuff from hockey at the end of 1800's and the beginning of 1900's. I just had to share the picture.



I thought this turned out pretty good. They had the locker room open for people to tour. Several of the lockers were placed on display like this one here. This is the uniform of our goalie, Chris Osgood.

The walls entering the locker room and all throughout the area had tons of pictures and plaques on them. I had to capture this picture. It is of Dino Ciccarelli in his day. Now I thought this would be great to capture because I knew he would be signing autographs and I suspected I would be there.



And here they are at the signing. I ended up with a Red Wings cup and a program autographed. Something to keep for sure.



And then there was the Stanley Cup, what the teams work for all year. It is a gorgeous thing that has so much detail that just does not show up here.



It was a fun time doing something I may never have a chance to do again. I really enjoyed it. I am out of time but I will see if I can not add just a little to this later on.

Have a nice day everyone.
