RBC Center, Section 113 Row C
We were leaving a hockey rink in Raleigh were my son was playing the last game of the morning. Outside was a father of another player who had a sign printed up "2 Tix for Hurricanes Today". We had a long car ride ahead of us but I thought it would be a good opportunity to take the boy to an NHL game.
The game started in 2 hours, the 2 seats were 3 rows off the ice in the corner for less than face value.
We were close to the arena to begin with. Inside the teams were still warming up. My son caught a practice puck. Luckily the front row had 2 empty seats on the glass. I let him go sit there until someone kicked him out. Which no one did.
Ron Francis scored the only Hurricanes goal of the afternoon while the Thrashers Yannick Tremblay netted the game tier. Atlanta's goaltender Milan Hnilcka had 42 saves in the game and earned the First Star of the Game.
