We "R" the Champions!!

Tuesday night was game six of the Ray Miron President's Cup championship, and the Dunbar family was lucky enough to go! Grandma Brenda came up for the game too (talk about a hockey nut!! HA!) Seriously,though, we all really enjoy watching the Rush, even Aiden gets in on all the cheers! The Rush were up 3 games to 2, so needless to say the place was going crazy with the excitement of the possibility of winning the cup in only the team's 2nd season in existence.


The Rush warming up before the game

Tyson has a thing about pyrotechnics (as in he is terrified by them!) As he says:"they hurt my ears." Anyway, him and I got to hang out down by the concession stands during the starting line-up, so as to not damage our ears by the loud noise. Thank goodness Dad was on point and captured these cool pictures for us to see.

This guy needs no introduction-Tyson's idol-Danny Battochio!! Also known as "Batman", therefore, explaining the below picture!

The Rush started out rough and were down 3-0 by the end of the first period. With their never say die attitude they came back, and with just over a minute left to go in the third period they tied it up and we were off to overtime!

It was grueling-just ask our children!!! Finally after over an hour of dealing with two very tired boys, (thanks a million Gram for walking the halls with Aiden) with only 32 seconds left in the 2nd overtime, the Rush scored the winning goal.... and the crowd went wild!!!!

Yep, you guessed it, Battochio...again!

Presentation of the Ray Miron Cup

It was 11:15 pm as we were leaving the arena. Just a few hours past our bedtime!!! It was great, though, and now all we have to do is somehow learn to live without hockey for the next 5 months! Talk about some serious withdrawal!!

What can I say, hockey is an exhausting sport!!! We may need the next few months to recover!!!
