MS Surge win first round to the SPHL President's Cup

I am one of those people that need Hockey for Dummies. I do not know much about the game. However, I know excitement when it happens. The first period the game was scoreless and I was like the heck with hockey. The second we at least made one goal. Then one of our players elbowed one of their players and blood went everywhere. The player was transported to the hospital and our man was kicked out of the game. Truth is the Columbus team plays dirty and we finally hit back (I know it doesn't make it right). 

We dominated the rest of the game bringing the score to 6 - 2. Several of their players didn't play hockey they played knock out the other players.  My brother pointed out that the game was going to get uglier because if they didn't win it was over for them. He pointed out two players 84 and 32. I also noted 21 was a rough player. As I watched 84 (built like a line man) he never tired to to get the puck. He would bowl down as many players as he could. Run up behind players and hit them as hard as he could. He had several time outs and finally was kicked out. They also finally kicked out 32.

Now it is on to the President's Cup Finals!

Hockey for Southerners a Katrina come back.

What happened to the hockey games? When these girls were babies we took them to hockey games. In fact the second one was only a thought when we first started going. So, what happened? Katrina. It is hard to believe all the things a hurricane changes. It even effected the fun we had at games. First off the coliseum  was flooded with gulf waters and had to be rebuilt. OK, that was done so why don't we have a hockey game. Keesler AFB was also flooded. No hospital or housing for military personal so no people on the coast. When you do not have fans you do not have a team. The Seawolf's disbanded and do not exist any more. It cost money to have a team and you have to make so much money in order to support a team. This team is part of the Southern Professional Hockey League.. Keesler AFB is still not in full force and so we still do have the fan base that is needed for a better team. As you can see in the stands not many people. (Last week there were a lot more people at the game - spring break and Easter have cut in in half). It use to be full to over flowing. The game was fun and it was family time. Last night we only paid $5.00 to get in that is one advantage. On the down side they checked out bags for outside snacks and drinks. We did not have any so no problem. You can't blame the coliseum because they make there money on the food and drinks they sell. The team makes the money on the sell of tickets. We, the coast, is still struggling to come back from Katrina. We are not there yet but progress is being made. 

We did win!  On a up note one of the Seawolf's members is the coach for the new Surge team.
