Monster's team got a chance to play a game at the Joe before the CCHA Consolation and final game. Unfortunate that the Red Wings logo was missing for the weekend, but they had a blast:

1) Obligatory team shot:

2). 70-200 up close

3). Starting the break out:

4). Monster pushes the puck

4). Monster get the only penalty of the day....

5). Looks more official here:

7). ...but comes charging back...

Thus ends the season. Now I just have to deliver the 3000 pics I took this year and collect my big check....

    Nice set of images. What I'd like to know is how you got them to turn the lights on for you :D

    Having the chance to play in a place like the Joe is awesome.

    I like the first photo. Something about all those empty seats makes a person realize how many seats there are in Joe. My husband grew up watching the wings and pounding on the glass there so it will always be dear to his heart.

    Nice photos!

    thx guys, it was pretty cool.

    They played after U of M practiced and before the consolation game of the CCHA.

    Ian, the lights come on after you sell 200 tickets as a team... mwink.gif

    Ha ha! We have the same deal. The place is still a cave.

    I think the advantage we had was that we played on CCHA consolation and Finals day, with all the teams warming up all day....

    Very nice!
    My son played at the Joe back as a Mite and a again as a Squirt. Seems like a long time ago....he is graduating from HS this year.
    I was coaching and not taking photo's back then so I have no photo's of my own.
