All Americans

Winter calls us to the ice for skating and hockey. And, all the excitement of slapping and sticking come together at the Toyota Center when the Tri City Americans meet opponents within the Western Hockey League. It is beautiful to see the deft maneuvers that push the puck past the goalie and into the net. Unfortunately, many a game is interrupted by a barbaric brawl while the crowd cheers it on ... usually things are tempered before a stomach turning bash draws blood.

And after Sunday home games, fans are invited to skate with the Americans. Call ahead to reserve your spot on the ice. A good time is guaranteed, especially after a win.

When the appetite strikes, every sports fan's favorite snack is available to tempt indulgence. Lots of souvenirs let you support your team, and your country. How great is that?!

The current runs through us. Catch it.
