The Santa Rosa Flyers, the amateur youth hockey teams based at Snoopy’s Ice Arena in Santa Rosa, came to South Lake Tahoe this weekend for games against the Tahoe Grizzlies.

Thirteen families from the Santa Rosa hockey organization lost their homes in the recent wildfires. And how wonderful is this? To help support the families, South Tahoe Amateur Hockey Association, the South Lake Tahoe Icemen, and the Tahoe Ice Arena hosted a fundraiser for the GoFundMe account that was started by a Santa Rosa hockey mom to provide interim support to these families. All proceeds from the rink operations during this weekend’s games went directly to the fund. This included ticket sales, pizza, beer, soda, snacks, and Icemen swag purchases. In addition, cash donations were accepted.
This was the first time I attended an ice hockey game, even though the arena is just blocks from our house. It was fun, exciting, and quite interesting (note the referee, she's a girl)
I bought a hot pretzel, put money in the donation jar, and spent the next hour being thoroughly entertained. Wow.
I love jersey #17 which belongs to Lucas Happy. Cool last name.
I think it was okay for me to root for the Visiting Team, just this time. And boy did the Flyers kick butt! What an exhilarating Sunday in Tahoe.
