The Griffins played the Marlies at Comerica Park as part of Winter Fest leading up to the Winter Classic.  The Marlies ended up winning in the shoot out.

family skate {comerica}

Family skate was originally scheduled for Sunday night but was cancelled due to the weather that delayed some earlier hockey games.  It was a good thing as I wouldn't of made it in time!

Family skate was rescheduled for after the player's morning skate.  It was pretty cool to be in the clubhouse, get ready in the training room, and walk onto the field through the dugout.  Definitely glad we got experience it!

We got some snow last night and today over the ice we got last week.  Perfect for sledding…until you fall off.
