I don't know if any of you are watching the NHL Winter Classic today, but if you are, make sure you watch the 1930's GEICO commercial...that's me playing goalie!

Saw the game and commercial.  Have been a travel hockey and High School varsity coach for almost 20 years.  Great game.

Beer league I can relate.  If you need any gear let me know I have a ton.  We are lucky here to have the the Tri City Americans which our part of the Western Hockey league.  Right now they are the 2nd best team in the CHL; ( www.whl.ca )

In the past we have had Stu Barnes, Scott Gomez, and reccently Carey Price.

A great game glad to see other SMC members in the game.

I'm lucky to live right near the Washington Capitals, I split a season ticket package with some coworkers. 

Here's the commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B79AHOexy7Q

We made it to a Caps game at the end of November. The mom of a student in my class has season tix that she splits. We paid for 2 seats and she gave us the 3rd. Hockey is $$ to go see.

Same thing here in Hockeytown (Detroit).  Anything in the lower bowl is just under $100 to a lot more!  You can get nose bleeds for around $30 or $40.  Always a good time to see the Red Wings though!

I have been a Buffalo Sabres season ticket holder of 22 years.  I have spent enough money to purchase and restore 25 Vendo 81Ds

How is that for some crazy math.
