Dan Hickman during the stick relay race. One at a time a team of 10 players skated the length of the ice with their stick.  When they got back to the starting line they handed their stick off to another player who had to skate the same distance with both sticks.  The final player on the team had to skate with all ten sticks.  The first team to complete the relay and sit on the ice was the winner.  This event does not display any particular skill but it was very entertaining for the fans and the players seemed to have fun doing it also.

Hickman hands off the sticks to Milan Maslonka.

Justin Schmit races to hand off the sticks to his team mate.

The red stick actually fell out of Jason Kwon's grip but he picked it out of mid air without breaking stride.

Brad Mcnab drops to his bum to complete the race and Scott Wray is about to give him a push towards the finish line.

Wray gives Mcnab a shove but you can see Kwon above for the white team slide into the picture.  Team White won the race because all their players were sitting on the ice while some Team Blue players were still standing.

GM Robbie Nichols talks to some of the fans.

During intermission we were treated to a fantastic guitar solo by goalie Michael Dilorenzo.  He  is a great guitar player and it sounded good over the arena's sound system.  When he completed his song, the players just off the ice encouraged him to play an encore.  He was trying to think of something else to play and all of a sudden the stool he was sitting on collapsed and down he went guitar and all.  The players off ice busted out in laughter.  I do not know and can't say for sure but I would not be surprised if he was the victim of some team mate prank.  Looking back at the pics now you can see at least one leg support clearly disconnected.  Reguardless, it's a shame he did not play another song.  He really was pretty darn good!

Don't forget to come to Saturday's intra squad scrimmage game!  All Jackals All the Time Every Shift as the players battle it out for those final roster spots.  Should be a great time.
