Hockey Road Trip, Fall 2004

Week One - Southwest Sat, 10/16 - Fri, 10/22

Friday, 11/26

Time spent with family is never enough.  Though, I was glad to get off Long Island.  It's just too congested and busy for my liking.  This was my first Thanksgiving home since I moved off the island in 1995.

Week Two - Texas Sat, 10/23 - Fri, 10/29

We visited Aunt Jeanie before heading to Philadelphia.  Went to see a Phantoms game at the Wachovia Center this evening.  Visited with John's family.

Week Three - Southeast Sat, 10/30 - Fri, 11/5

I do believe we actually saw some blue sky as we travelled south to Philadelphia.  We went via the BQE.  I snapped some NYC skyline shots for John as he drove.

Week Four - Southeast Sat, 11/6 - Fri, 11/12

Phantom notes: -  The Phantoms have one of the greatest logos in hockey.

Week Five - Mid Atlantic 11/13 - Fri, 11/19

Week Six - Long Island Sat, 11/20 - Fri, 11/26

-  They played at the Wachovia Center this game instead of the Spectrum.  The Wachovia Center is where the Flyers play (during non lock out years). -  The Phantoms matched an AHL record with their 16th consecutive victory this evening.  They proceeded to establish an AHL record the following night in Hershey with 17 consecutive victories. -  Attendance was 11,064.  Amazing. -  'Get the puck', 'Get the puck', Get the puck' (you had to be there).
