I’m sorr- actually no, I’m not sorry for not posting for a while, I have a life (well, that’s a bit of an overstatement, but still)
Anyways, on Saturday (April 3rd) I went with my family to see the Toronto Rock Lacrosse Team play at the Air Canada Centre. I had seen them once before when I was 8 years old, which I vaguely remember.
If you have never seen professional lacrosse, you are really missing out. Even if you aren’t a sports person (I’m not), lacrosse is fun, fast and easy to follow. There is a really short season, from January to April. Compared to other sports at the ACC, it was really affordable. There are 2 main sections in the ACC, the lower bowl and the upper bowl. For the lower bowl it is $80 for adult tickets, $32 for student or senior (Student being 15 and under). The upper bowl is $32 for adults, $16 for students/seniors. So for a couple of teenagers it is a pretty affordable night out, bus down straight to Union Station, grab a street dog for lunch, watch the game and bus it back.
Lacrosse is a fairly unique game in respect to its lax rules on fighting. There were many brutal hits and trips during the game, even in areas where the ball wasn’t. Probably the most hilarious antics is seeing one player run down the field with the ball while another follows right behind him, hitting him repeatedly with the net of his stick, it was like someone had taken the scene straight out of a bugs bunny cartoon.
Here are some random cell pics from the night.
I HATE typos on professional signs. (If you can’t read, it says “Open Eveyday”)
Some call it art. I call it giant testicles.
We were 5 rows up, we could read the players lips as they swore.
Who wants plain old foam fingers when you can get 3D ones?
The Toronto Rock have their own cheerleaders, the Hot Rocks.
I like cheerleaders :)
My school doesn’t have cheerleaders by the way. Sucks, I know.
That’s the one my mom and I picked out for me. My family is awesome.
That’s all for this latest installment of my random blog posts.

Of course you LIKE cheerleaders :D and you have soo many pictures of them... and you would have liked if you were in the front row or even on the floor dancing with them :P
ReplyDeleteIs four a lot?
ReplyDeleteIt's ok, when they were off the field they hung around a few rows over.
