Roger, Gord's friend and co-worker, went to the game with us and he brought his dad, Ben. The Toronto Rock Cheerleaders were greeting fans arriving to the game. Ben got friendly with Katie.
The Rock were playing the Rochester Knighthawks tonight.
The Rock won their first game of the season last Friday ... that was an exciting game!
Iggy, the Rock mascot, charmed the crowd before the game.
As usual, Scotty Newlands sang the national anthems.

The red-wigged guys who always sit across from us were there.
Iggy spent some time in our section. The kids love Iggy!

The Rock players congratulated each other on an excellent game.
Tim and Gillian showed their appreciation of the win.
The Rock and Knighthawks players shook hands.
The Rock players again congratulated each other.
The Rock players thanked their fans.
Rock goalie, Nick Rose, was the #1 player of the game (he did play well) and was interviewed afterwards. He autographed a ball and gave it to someone in the crowd.
It was Stephan LeBlanc bobblehead night and they were given out to the first 5,000 fans arriving to the game.
It was a fun game. It's always a fun game when we're winning but tonight the Rock kept scoring and Nick Rose kept making great saves.
