That is adorable.
Just looked this up and this happens to be on the way from my hotel to the Convention Center.
Sweet!
Have we ever had a unanimous vote before?
I want to say no, but I can't definitively. There is something tickling my memory but I can't pin it down.

Maria, EVERYONE appreciates positioning more than I do.
We hadn't known about the goalie sitch. K was just really confused about why so many people on ice were wearing a sweater that said Imoo.

Funny Noah story -- last night in the arena Noah got really confident about needing to use the bathroom. I went with him twice but then he said, "Mom. I got this." He walked down the steps to the concourse, then came back.
On our way out, he needed to go again as did the rest of us. So he went and when we came out, he was nowhere to be seen. MEEP. He had sidled down the concourse to watch the game on TV. made me panic for a few minutes.

Laura, I'm so sorry for your loss. Much love to you and your family.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh good grief, Noah. Do not scare your moms like that. Being smart, but young, does not come with the privilege of wandering an arena concourse even three feet from your expected position.
It's more probable that you will get those weird wouldn't-believe-it-if-you-weren't-there situations in the minor leagues. When Rob was playing, I remember one game where the mascot was paged to the locker room ASAP. We didn't see the mascot for the rest of the game, because Rob was now sitting on the bench in his goalie gear as the emergency backup. (There were 2 or 3 guys who took turns putting on the costume at home games. It just happened to be his turn that night.)

I'm so sorry, Laura. I thought your Mom was a wonderful person when I met her.

That's hilarious.
K has a female friend who she played with either at Brown or Minnesota who got to be the mascot for an NHL team because she could skate. Depressing to consider. But better than the shovel girls.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm so sorry, Laura.

That's another thing I love about the Bears. Outside of Coco the Bear, there are no other official team whatevers. It's average people clearing the ice during stoppages, and sometimes youth hockey players. Hershey is a very traditional franchise. The concept of cheerleaders hasn't ever been raised. Hell, you couldn't even buy beer in the old Hersheypark Arena. Alcohol sales were only permitted after the Bears moved to the Giant Center in 2002.
