Arizona doesn't suck (as much as I thought it would)!

Post by Bleeding Orange »

I have found out several new things about hockey at UofA that make me very, very happy:

(1) UofA has a club hockey team called the Ice Cats that play at the Tucson Convocation Center. They are pretty popular here from what I am told, as well.

(2) It only costs $4 for tickets.

(3) Because they play at a public facility, you can buy beer there!

Is it sad that I'm most excited about that last point? :oops:

Possibly the coolest thing ever: Willie Nelson was the honorary captain of the Icecats last year! :D

I have to find an Arizona sweater with a cactus on it. That is very strange.

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

I'll certainly get you a puck (at least), and I may even try to actually fashion a hockey stick out of a real cactus for you! :lol:

You may laugh now, but when I actually do it... :shock:

I don't really know much about cacti, but I would imagine that if they're fibrous you could dry the pulp out and use it in a composite stick...

Yes, I know I bring y'all very, very important information on a daily basis. But if you want to try a good cactus drink in Arizona Bleeding, get the Prickly Pear Margaritas at the Phoenician. I spent 3 glorious days there on depos and they are worth the splurge!!!
