Hey Everyone,

Yes, pro hockey has arrived in Abbotsford.  The Abbotsford Heat will be taking on the Manitoba Moose in a preseason game Friday night.  If this AHL affair is anything like some of the NHL battles we’ve seen between the Calgary Flames and the Vancouver Canucks….lookout!

Are they ready for pro hockey in Abby?  Friday morning we will be checking out how the game preparation is going at the new Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre.  First we will take a look at the ice work and scoreclock at the new venue.  We will then move to the broadcast booth with Heat play by play man, Dave Sheldon.  I’ll lace up my skates as Heat head coach, Jim Playfair talks about what his expectations are going into the teams’ inaugural season.  To finish off this ice hockey adventure, I’ll end up on the ice with a couple of Heat players doing some drills.   ‘Tweeeeeet’  There’s the whistle.  I’m done.

See ya Friday morning. 

***Oh yeah!  I almost forgot.  If you’d like to go to the game between the Heat and Moose on Friday night, you’ll need to listen up.  I’ll be giving away some tickets to the game and let you know how you can maybe get your hands on some of them. 

See ya in the morning.

Greg
