It was friends, food, fun and HOCKEY Saturday night at Jobing.com Arena.  Before the game, my family attended a Coyotes tailgating party.  I played a little hockey with some Coyotes fans, everyone was so pumped up for the doors to open and get inside.  I got to meet Doug Moss, he was so excited about Opening Night.

I won a signed Shane Doan hockey puck (on his 33rd birthday), from HockeyBuzz for the sign I made … AWESOME!  It was really cool seeing everyone wearing WHITE.  I saw so many Roenick #97 Coyotes Jerseys.

I finally saw a NHL player with an Easton S19 Hockey Stick up close, when Yandle went to the penalty box.  Wow, I want one!

I really wanted a Coyotes Win, but loosing the game did not take away from all the excitement I felt about the COYOTES being back on the ice in Glendale, AZ and going to my first WhiteOut Hockey game.

My Coach said it best after we lost a game like that “an eye opener … moving forward.”
