Brianna and her friend Danielle Despres sang again to kick off the Idaho Steelheads game tonight. I think they should sing before every game, because every time they do, the Steelheads win (4-1 tonight)!!! As they played the Victoria Salmon Kings from Canada, Brianna and Dani sang both the Canadian and USA national anthems. We thought it was very nice of the 4,170 adoring fans came out to see the two of them sing.
But of course, after they sang, we all very much enjoyed watching a fight, and occasionally a hockey game broke out. Seriously though... tonight's game was pretty violent. One of the flights left blood on the ice - yikes! What's that you ask? Of course I got a picture of the blood-splattered ice (to the left here). During another fight, the officials literally could not get the two players separated. There were three officials tackling two players rolling around on the ice trying to get it broken up. It was crazy!
Anyway... we had a great time. I'd never been to pro (or semi-pro) hockey games until we moved here to Boise, and they're a whole lot of fun. There are a few more pictures (including more blood splatter - now this link will strangely get double the amount of normal hits that I usually get, I'm sure) that I have posted from the evening, here on Flickr.The two videos, one of each national anthem, are also embedded below (and of course, here and here on Facebook).
NOTE: The "Oh Canada" video is not working right at all on YouTube. But the Flickr one is embedded below, until I can figure out why this video isn't uploading correctly. Sorry about that.
