Anyone who wants to play one of those pickup games at the American Airlines Center on Jan. 15 should drop a line to Samantha Arthur at sarthur9@netzero.net
For the uninitiatied, this is where a bunch of guys and gals like us get to play on the Stars' ice before or after a game in a regulation setting w/clock and officials. You also get a Platinum-level ticket to the game (in this case, the LA Kings).
The game is a 3 p.m. start for MLK Day, so the game you play would be afterward, in the evening. They also feed you an above-average meal and treat you to a talk from a Stars official or, if you're lucky, a player. The experience is a total blast, well worth the roughly $130 cost. Heck, the face value on the game ticket is nearly that much.
Samantha is trying to help someone fill out a team that has a few slots left. I assume the teams are I-League or D-League level.
Photo above: Nate "Little Ball of Hate" Hodges in a game at the AAC last month. Not sure what Olsen is looking at here. The play is going the other way.
