And the Home of the... SIOUX!

Greg and I went to Colorado Springs this weekend for one of our favorite activities:
Cheering on University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux Hockey!
Two games, one win, one great weekend!!




Colorado Springs World Arena, final Game score: Sioux win 6-0!






We actually stayed at the same hotel as the players! Even though they are college students, I was still a little starstruck, asking Greg: What if I get to meet Ben Blood? What about Genoway and Trupp?! LOL










Greg before they scored in the first game, where they lost 2-4.













Greg after they scored. LOL

Ree's Favorite Moments from UND vs. CC:

1. All the Sioux fans!! There was a lot of Green there representing!

2. Gregoire's last goal in Game 1

3. PeeWee Hockey during the break!! Those little ones were ADORABLE.

4. Two little Colorado College fans, sitting behind us with their parents; I got a kick out of how much they got into the game.

4a. Towards the end of the 6-0 game (UND winning), one of the little boys said to his dad: "All we need is a Touchdown with the extra point and we can beat them, huh dad?!" LOL Soooo cute!!

4b. At one point, both boys were so into the excitment of the game, all the UND fans were chanting "Lets Go Sioux!" and they both joined in.... even though they were wearing yellow... LOL .

4c. Their dad was pretty lighthearted and understanding about it, trying to explain that, "yes, if this were football, then a touchdown would be great right now" and "you know boys, we're the TIGERS... not the SIOUX..." Awesome.
