Warmup

Warmups

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The first time I've ever seen a dust-up during pre-game warmups live. These used to be more commonplace, but are somewhat of a rarity now. No punches were thrown - it could've been a melee as there are no on-ice officials during warmups

The girls warm up on the rink before the bout. I ended up sitting right at the edge of the "safe line." No girls crashed into me, but they came close.
