I decided not to bring a camera with me last night which means I didn’t get a picture of Sarah having a blast at the Sharks game last night. You’ll just have to take my word that she was enjoying herself in her usual wild-fan way. She got just what she went to see - there was quite a bit of rowdiness on the ice, 2 actual fights AND they won. On top of that, the Tornadoes were there with Twister. She was a happy little fan. We all had fun.

Too bad we aren’t going tonight too, it’s Tim Murray bobble-head night! They’re giving away the bobble-heads to the first 3,000 fans that go tonight.

Twister is great! The kids love him. He shows up at all the important events around the city. He’s very entertaining at the Tornadoes games. I just have one question. What is Twister?? He looks like he could be a dog or a bear or maybe some type of panther/cat-type animal. I decided to take a poll to see what everyone else thinks. I’ve also allowed for an “other” option for those of you who think he’s some other type of animal - please do share what you think it is, it’ll be a lot more fun that way.

I don’t want to leave out the other super-awesome mascot of Worcester, Finz. Everyone loves Finz too- check out the crowd of kids all trying to give him a hug. But I am also very sure that Finz is a shark so no big questions about him
