Tonight was the first home game of the season. The Rock had partnered with the Downie Wenjack Fund ... $1 from every single game ticket sold was donated to the fund.
The Rock were hosting the Saskatchewan Rush.
Bellosound provided the music during the game.
As a season ticket subscriber, a cowbell had come with our tickets, which we were encourage to use during the game.
Our friend, Trish, surprised us by buying the seat next to us and showing up! What a nice surprise!
Scotty Newlands sang the national anthem.
And the game began ...
