Mile High Hockey Club Level Tickets to tomorrow's game



Hi Guys!!

I have two club level tickets to tomorrow's Avs v Stars game that I'm not able to use.

I was hoping to sell them to re-coup some of the cost. Here is the link to the sale on Flashseats.

I have them listed at 65.00 a piece but would take substantially less than that. Make me an offer! I probably can't refuse.

They are section 234 row 2 seats 5 and 6.

If one of you doesn't take them AJ's gonna have to find another (non)date on short notice for another game!

 

GO AVS!

Mile High Hockey next MHH party...




Hi Kids!!

So....

The Avs just announced that that they are retiring Foppa's number on opening night against The Wings.

I believe that this type of thing calls for an all out MHH party.

Kind of like a combo of Sakic night and Red Wings suck night which were both EPIC!!!

We can prob manage to set up a pre game at a fun place like has been done before and try to get in on a group ticket deal.

Should be a great time, LETS do IT!

Who's in?

Mile High Hockey Hunwick being classy



Ok,

 So this is really about Matt's little brother Shawn.

He plays Goalie for Michigan. I was listening to NHL Radio on my very early drive to work this morning and heard a name that got my attention. They were talking about this really classy thing that Hunwick did.

It didn't take me long to realize that they were talking about Matt's little brother Shawn. It appears that last year, when he was a junior, he won the starting goalie job from their other goalie Hogan after Hogan suffered a groin injury.

Last Saturday, after playing this whole season as the starter and taking his team to the championships, he was pitching a shutout in the final game of the tournament. With 7 minutes left, he went to the bench and asked the coach to put Hogan in. He says it was because he didn't want this other great goalie's college career to end on the memory of a championship game that he didn't get to play in.

 

This made me smile and I thought I would share =)

 

I had trouble finding an actual story to confirm this, but here is a link to a fan board post about it. Enjoy!

Here is the box score for the game. It's the best I could find while I'm supposed to be training an new dispatcher. ;)

And his player bio.

Hey all, I can't go to this game thanks to that whole knee surgery thing I foolishly did last week.
I'm sure most of you got the same e-mail from tickethorse, but if not, someone should take advantage of this nice half price ticket offer.
The promo code is FANS

Someone, go and cheer loud for the good guys =)

*EDIT*
sorry, didn't realize that the URL I grabbed was for a temp session. I linked to the Ticket Horse event page where there is a button for the special offer instead.
Hey, If I could walk w/o much pain, we'd totally be headed to this game, center ice club level for 1/2 price!

From Dater-
"Coach Sacco is sick and couldn’t make it here this morning, and the Avs aren’t sure he’ll be able to coach against the Blue Jackets tonight or not."

Former Avalanche captain Joe Sakic will put on the uniform of the Quebec Nordiques again, when he takes part in a charity game honoring former Quebec teammate Guy Lafleur Feb. 27 in Quebec City.

Sakic will play with other Nordiques old-timers in a game against Montreal Canadiens old-timers in the game to benefit charities and honor Lafleur, who won four Stanley Cups with Montreal.

Hmmmmm.
I wonder if this theory has anything to do with why our boys were so much better last year and so far this year than in The Season That Shall Not Be Named?

LARIMER COUNTY - The Colorado Eagles will find out Thursday what criminal charges and Central Hockey League sanctions they might receive for their part in numerous fights during last Saturday's exhibition hockey game against the Odessa (Texas) Jackalopes.

Didn't we talk about this last week?
I know I saw a FB post about Dutchie and Sid and several other young players playing quarters with what I am sure was N/A beer in a local bar in Vail.

Mile High Hockey Frozen Fury




Ok People,

Its time for the next MHH Gathering. It appears that semi organizing these things has become my lot in life ;-)

A few of my closest friends and I are planning to make the pilgrimage to Sin City for Frozen Fury this year.

The Game is on Saturday Oct 2nd at the MGM Grand.

Who's in?

It's time for MHH to spread its wings and venture out into the world!

I know the Man and I at least plan to be there most of the week before, we can have some good times in the desert.

Who knows? Maybe you'll luck out and get to witness my wedding ;-)

Mile High Hockey MHH Madness March 1st pictures

 


Here they are,

I was way too distracted to take pictures before and during the game so they are limited and mostly from the after party at Brooklyn's .

I have edited them per individual requests. Obviously if there are pics of you here that you want me to take down, I will.

So without further ado.

The MHH Crew, ( that I actually captured at least! )

Mile High Hockey Mar 1st Red Wings Suck Gathering

 

 

This is getting close now.

Justin With the Avalanche Guild has asked me to provide him with the number of tickets purchased on their offer from this group. He's gonna try to get us some swag. So... I have updated the list below as best I can. If it is incomplete or inaccurate, please let me know.

I do think we're planning a pre-game meet at Old Chicago's at 14th and Market around 5:00 that afternoon. I will also need a number to give to the folks there so that they can accomodate us.

 

Thanks!!

Tell me you don't need one of these.
They seem to be becoming more available, last time I was looking for something like this I only found one place, now you can get it from Walmart.com if you want.

Mile High Hockey *updated Feb 18th* March 1st Red Wings Suck meet



Ok.

here is the link to check out the ticket offer.

TheAvalancheGuild

Some of us have bought tickets through this offer. So far section 312 still looks pretty good. these tix are $45.00 each. $10.00 of that is a donation to the Avalanche Guild and there are no other fees. Don't forget, thats for 2 games!

Please post here if my list needs to be updated or you have any suggestions for a pre-game meet up.

My friends suggested we do the Old Chicago's thing again since we kinda missed out on that the last time.

Lappy is one of the nominees in TSN's early poll for the No Guts No Glory award. I think he should walk away with this one.
