Hockey Day In Canada

Yesterday we celebrated Hockey Day In Canada....or In Scotland rather!
We were finally able to find a hockey team here in Edinburgh and Shawn took Alexander and Benjamin to see a game last night. They had a blast! They got home just before 10pm and we SOOO excited. They couldn't talk fast enough to tell me all about the game. Their highlights:
1. "Our team won!" That is, the Edinburgh Capitals
2. There was another person with a Team Canada shirt and with a Toronto Maple Leaf's shirt.
3. The game was tied and after OT, they had a shoot out! Edinburgh got 2, the other team got 0
4. They got to eat snacks.
5. They got to cheer "Go Canada Go!" Until Shawn reminded them that it was "Go Edinburgh Go!"
So the game was a hit! Now they are asking when they can go again. We'll have to see about that as it is quite expensive. And today Benjamin is telling everyone that when he is 9 or 10 he is going to play hockey....we'll have to see about that one too!

Here are the great spectators engrossed in the game.

Shawn said the ice rink wasn't too bad. It was pretty old...like a small town ice rink back home. Certainly no Harbour Station, but the boys didn't notice.
