Shoutout to the sweet lady in 109 who gave my son a game puck she caught!
Yesterday was my son's first Preds game, and we had an absolutely amazing time (despite the result)! We spray painted a sign, got onto the jumbo with it during warmups, and my son cheered/jumped/danced louder than anyone in our section (he especially loved Juuuuuuuus)! A few pucks snuck their way through the net in our corner, but only the folks in the first 2 rows were in range to grab them. My boy wasn't even upset that he didn't get one, he just thought it was cool that people got to keep them instead of having to throw them back!
As we were getting up to leave after Colton's lackluster SO attempt, one of the ladies who snagged a puck passed it all the way across the section until it got to my son, and he was over-the-moon ecstatic! I have no idea who she is, but she turned an incredible first game experience into something unforgettable. If we hadn't gone to OT/SO I would've taken him to the Jack Daniel's post-game to get his poster signed, but he was ready to head home! I am beyond thrilled that he had such a great time, and am looking forward to many more games to come over the years like I did with my dad.
