That's awesome. I live in Houston, and used to go to the Aeros AHL games before they left. Matt Hackett actually played here. When they played the Americks, went with a few of my Bills Backers friends. Americks won in a shootout, and the family of the kid who scored the game winning goal was behind us.
Now we have no professional hockey, but we have a junior team. Much lower level hockey, but there's a bar there that serves blue and has hockey on all of the TVs. It's still a fun time.
