A Visit to an Ice Hockey Game.

On Saturday the 14^th February. people joined together to get in the minibus to go on an ice hockey outing. It was an extremely long journey!

Once we arrived we had trouble finding a parking place because of the crowds, however we managed to negotiate with a man to swap his space for ours because our was too small. Mrs Rand ran to the box office to collect the tickets. Did you know that Mrs Rand’s husband played professionally for Basingstoke Bison? Soon after we made our way towards the stairs and seconds later we were drinking and waiting for food. The majority of people went for chicken nuggets while some went for hot dogs and burgers. Then it was time for the match! First of all Bracknell Bees came out and not much cheering was heard as they were the visitors. Seconds later Basingstoke came out and cheers, clapping and excitement filled the stadium and it was so loud the stadium nearly fell down!!! Not long after the game began. In the first period (of3) Joe Rand scored the first goal of the game! It couldn’t have been better scripted. In the blink of an eye the first 20 minute was over.

A ten minute break whooshed by and the second period was on. It began with a eruption! Basingstoke scored another 4 amazing goals!!!! Unfortunately, Bracknell scored and that took the scores to 5-1. Everybody was ecstatic with the scores although we were worried because one more period had to be played. Would we win? Who knows.

 

Some people brought money and got some souvenirs such as pictures, key rings and much more. 5,4,3,2,1 the whistle blew and the game began again! Unfortunately, it was a very boring period since nobody scored a goal. Little did we know we were about to meet Joe Rand! Luckily we won 5-1. Phew!!!!! After the match Joe Rand signed and his good mate Dough accompanied him. Then it was over. We were on our journey back to school. Not long after we got back everyone was on their way back home.

Everybody was really happy. Everyone hopes they win their next match. I don’t think anyone can wait until we go again. Well I certainly can’t.
