Sunday afternoons in the Ottawa hockey world are usually the domain of our neighbourhood Ottawa 67s, a favourite of Isabelle and Oliver, but this weekend we had the chance to check out some other hockey, and in a much larger venue! The farm teams of the Canadiens and the Senators were playing in the big club's home rink and given that it wasn't a hot ticket, we got some great seats on the 100 level to check out the action. The Hamilton Bulldogs knocked off the Binghamton Senators by a score of 5-2 in an entertaining affair that had some pretty goals by both sides. Isabelle and Oliver happily cheered on the big boys, although their likely highlight was the ice cream they enjoyed during the second period, as well as the Senators lion mascot, who Oliver has his eye on and was constantly monitoring his location. With a somewhat sparse crowd, the kids had lots of room to move about during breaks and stoppage in play. Oliver of course brought a car so he could enjoy both of his favourite things in one afternoon, cars and hockey. It was a nice afternoon at the big arena but we are looking forward to being back at the local rink rooting on the 67s in a few weeks! Oliver will surely be practicing his skills in the basement until it's time to see how the big kids do it again, while Isabelle is always ready to take on any sporting event. No need to check their passports, these are definitely Canadian kids!
