Hockey in Edmonton

The week that was saw me once again fly around Western Canada and visit the Prairies, including Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina and Edmonton. Building up the air miles that's for sure - nearly 25,000 in 5 months! Although it was a busy traveling week, the highlight was easily on Wednesday night when I was taken to a ice hockey game - Edmonton Oilers versus Colorado Avalanche. We had front row seats, up against the boards, next the away team players bench - up close and personal. Not only was it a privilege to have these VIP seats, but the game itself was fantastic with ten goals, couple of good fights and a player concussion. The home team, the Oilers, were down 2-4 going into the final period and managed to turn it around to win 6-4 with some spectacular hockey. As you can imagine the crowd went wild!

In other news, Nancy has announced is her unassuming way she has signed up for a half marathon, on her birthday in May, as part of Team in Training program with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. The aim is to raise more valuable funds for research into cancer treatment. But not only that, but she will be following this run up with a sky dive in the afternoon to add to her birthday celebrations. She already has a couple of people joining her so if you'd like to do this as well - game on! Nancy's training schedule starts this Sunday.
