Rillas Kudos




There were 2 small kids standing by the entrance to the ice for the away
team. They were maybe 4 or 5 years old. I thought they had Scorps jerseys on. You know the ones that were give aways.

They stood there with their little hands out waiting for bumps and everyone
of the Ama guys bumped them as they went on the ice.

Their little faces were so lit up. Grins from ear to ear.
The little ones don't care what color the jersey they just see hockey players.
I have seen players from other teams not be so nice.
It's part of what makes hockey so great. Seeing things like this.

Congrats to the Rillas for being nice to 2 little kids who might not remember
this. But I won't forget.

I also met Mark Black from Amarillo.
He is a really nice guy & we chatted a lot about hockey.
He is a well spoken , smart guy with a great sense of humor.
As usual players not playing are itching to get out there.
He was chomping at the bit to be on the ice.
He is a big drink of water , standing 6'5".
