Chicago Wolves vs. Milwaukee Admirals AHL Game-- Part 3: That's Wayne Messmer Singing
One thing I can say and that there sure were a lot of kids there, especially youth hockey players. There are a lot of activities set up in the halls for them. You had to keep a weather eye out for wayward hockey sticks.
While the teams weer practicing before the game there were lots of kids up by the glass and putting their hands on the glass and forming a target. Every so often, a player would toss a puck over the glass which would set off a stampede. Enjoyed watching the Zambonis doing their thing on the ice.
The game was slated to start at 7, but didn't until about 7:15. The Wolves sure have an interesting and impressive intro to the game, complete with flames and fireworks. My buddies had been there before and told me to get ready for the "Heat." And we sure got it when those flames went off.
Well-known Chicago talent and singer Wayne Messmer, sang the National Anthem. he was the original Chicago Blackhawks singer before Jim Cornelisun. When he hits those last notes, WOW!!!
Watching the NHL on TV, you don't really get the feeling of how fast the action goes and the quick switching of the lines. But, I sure got it tonight.
One guy sitting in the front row by the glass, got a good lesson in why you don't want to put an expensive beer up on the ledge by the glass because there was a collision there at that spot and down goes his expensive beer onto the floor. I noticed that he had other beers later, but none of them were placed back in that spot.
