Below: The home of the Calgary Flames (ice) hockey team, Pengrowth Saddledome. Hockey is to Canadians what cricket is to Aussies - a religion! Every time the Calgary Flames score, two large gas burners suspended from the ceiling ignite a huge flame.
Above: Despite the crowds, the corporate tickets I scabbed had good seats, four rows from the front near the Flames goal.
Below: This meant that there were some hard hit-ups on the plexi-glass right in front of me!
Above: Someone is going to have a sore head tonight!
Below: Flames goalie Mikka Kiprusoff makes a save against a Nashville attack. Kippa was awarded the best goalie for the 2005/06 season.
Below: At the Calgary Car Show we got to see some small cars...
