Portland Winterhawks

I recently went to a game for the Winterhawks at the Memorial Coliseum and got great tickets thanks to Living Social.

The Winterhawks are a junior ice hockey team, but there is nothing junior about them. They are really talented. I think I enjoyed going to their game more than I enjoyed going to an Anaheim Ducks game because you can get that much closer and be that much more involved for a friendlier price. The Winterhawks have a good history of having a strong team, but in the past few years haven’t been as great. This has definitely been the year to bring it all back. They are now in the Western Hockey League Playoffs, which start this Saturday. They are playing the Everett Silvertips. I’m hopefully going to be there to support, but even if I don’t I’ll be showing my pride for them.

Just thought I’d share how much I enjoyed this. You may want to find your local junior ice hockey team and watch these players feed into the Pros. It’s exciting and you get to be much more “in the game.”
