Go Checkers!

Last night Harry, my friend Joanne, and I went to the Charlotte Checkers game. The Checkers are Charlotte's AA hockey team. They are named after a checkered flag (Charlotte is the racing capital of the US).

We had a great time last night, for many reasons. First of all, the Checkers won 5-0 against the South Carolina Stingrays (the first win Harry and I have witnessed in person). Secondly, the bar was unable to take credit cards, which they didn't realize, so we got free beer!!


If you have never been to a hockey game I highly recommend it. It's a great game to watch, a great place to people watch, and a good way to get out any hostility you may have (watching the players beat each other up).
