Hockey Weekend !
Hockey and Caipirinha
Last Saturday we decided to watch a Calgary Flames game in our apartment. Usually we go out to a Pub. And to enjoy the game, we ordered Pizza, had beer, and I was in charge of making the Caipirinha.
Everyone in Calgary is crazy about hockey, they love Calgary Flames. I believe it is one of the best teams in Canada for sure. And by the way, flames jersey is really nice!! I wonder if I’ll buy mine very soon. Well, so last Saturday they played against Vancouver for the NHL – national Hockey league. You may think the national hockey league is a Canadian league, but it’s not. The NHL includes teams from USA, so it makes the league much more competitive! I don’t know all the rules yet and I’m not a big fan of Hockey, but it’s very interesting, fast and the fights along the game are one of the best parts!!!
Back to our private party while watching the game, I prepared some Caipirinha and it was very very good! Although I didn’t use my cachaca this time, I bought polish vodka and that was perfect! After finishing the game and no Caipirinha left, we had a few shots in a traditional polish way!!

Watching the hockey game in my apartment
So, the game was over, Flames lost but we were willing to go to a Pub and enjoy the night. We headed to a Pub called the ship (I think so), when something extraordinary happened while we were in line.
There was a freak guy being pulled out of the bar by the staff, screaming, trying to fight against another “punk guy”. Wow, the guy seemed to be very high, the staff people almost couldn’t stop him, and they were hitting him on his head, face,.., trying to make the guy cool down, but the crazy guy didn’t stop it! By then I believe the staff called the police. During this time we had a camera and we started taking a move of it! The police was really fast, it took about 3 minutes and at least three police cars got there…sirens light, transit interrupted, everyone watching the scene, and then the police men were kicking the guy to stop him, and nothing, as I said, the guy was freaking out, then the police officers had tasers and they used them on him. Finally the guy was powerless. At this time, we were making the movie and even a chopper (helicopter) showed up!! Light shows, everyone screaming, excited of what was happening!! There were many police men, and I forgot to describe something. When the police arrived, the second guy, got quiet, smooth, but when the freak one woke up again, he started trying to fight again against the other one, and this one, stupidly in front of the officers, jumped over him and of course, in short, the police used the taser once again, and both were arrested. What a crazy thing! Pretty hard stuff! And I got a movie of it! After all, we ended up getting inside the pub.
Hitmen and street hockey
Yesterday, Sunday 9th, we went to the Saddledome to watch a Hitmen game. What is a Hitmen game? It’s like a second division of hockey. It was my first real hockey game in a big stadium! It’s amazing! It’s like a show place! I would say that it’s just like those American basketball games, where you don’t pay only to watch the game, they want you to feel the flutter, there’s much more involved in it! It’s a show with music, television, promotions, food, show room, and other stuff. Really worth going!

Light show before the game starts!
Afterwards, our group of big hockey fans went to a tennis court to play what they call street hockey. They usually appreciate playing outside, especially when it’s warm during summer! That’s what we did! We got the sticks, a tennis ball and played for 1h 30min. It’s tough, but fun! Fortunately nobody got injury! And by the way, I did lots of goals. Not to shabby for my first time!
What a great weekend!
