Two Whaler games

Like my picture in my uniform? I took it myself. I have 9 goals and 3 assists in 6 games and am the leading scorer on my team which is Mission and the #3 scorer in the league. We are 2-4 so we have to pick it up.

I saw two Whaler games over the weekend. They didn't play so good Friday against Owen Sound. The Owen Sound players are pretty big but Carter Sandlak was battling and fighting them. I am liking him.

Saturday, the Whalers played better against Sarnia. The game-winning goal at the end by Zach Lorentz was great. It was right by us and he shot it with his back to the net. Compuware Arena got really loud after that.

Saturday was Pink Out day and my mom wore our pink Stefan Noesen jersey. A lot of people were wearing their pink jerseys. It's cool when my mom comes and she comes a couple of times a year. My Uncle Mike and Aunt Kristen came too.  My mom took me to the Whalers Pink Out dinner a few days before the game and I met a lot of the new players and got my picture taken with them. Matt Mistele asked me who my favorite player was and I said Ryan Hartman and Matt said "He is my favorite too." That's cool. It was a good time. Maybe I will post some pictures.

Compuware Arena is better than Joe Louis Arena

I went with my mom to see the RedWings play the Blue Jackets yesterday. It was a good game but the Red Wings lost 3-2 in a shootout. I usually go to two or three Red Wings games a year.

The people in the stands there are kind of crazy. Two guys behind us got in a fight and the usher came over but my mom said he was like 70 years old so he couldn't stop the fight. My mom said the guys were drunk. Then a lady came up to me and tried to give me money and we said no and then I saw her try and give other kids money. My mom said she was drunk too.

I like Compuware Arena better. Sometimes when the Windsor fans come over, things get wild with them but that is about it. At Compuware everybody just cheers for the Whalers. We get replays behind our section too. And there are more kids there. At Compuware, I can just walk around by myself and that is cool. Some of the ushers even know me and say hi. Also I can slap hands with the Whalers at the tunnel and at Joe Louis Arena, you cannot go by the tunnel unless your seat is right there. 

Compuware Arena is much better.  

I think the Compuware Arena Anthem singers are pretty good too

That's where I learned to sing the Canadian National Anthem.

The Red Wings are having their training camp at Compuware Arena this week

So I guess because of the lockout, Joe Louis Arena scheduled some other things and so did the Red Wings rink in Traverse City so they are having training camp at Compuware Arena this week.

It is funny because in pictures and video on tv of the Red Wings camp, I can see people sitting in our seats. My dad said they are just "renting" the seats and we get them back Friday when the Whalers get back to the arena.

Maybe I should have put Whalers stickers on our seats and a note to the Red Wings fans to take good care of them while they are using them. I could even invite them to a Whalers game. But they would have to sit in other seats because those are ours.

I forgot to mention yesterday!

After the game we were walking to our car and there was this guy standing real close to his car which was parked next to ours and I could not get to my door to open it. I could not see what he was doing.

Then he saw me standing there and said "My apologies. I am really sorry." and I did not know why he was sorry. Then I looked down and I saw there was a puddle under him and I figured it out. I didn't step in it though. Just got in our car.

My dad says sometimes when you drink beer, you gotta go a lot. No beer at our house so I didn't know that.
