Well a bunch of the Posse and I splurged and purchased tickets to Pucks and Passports. Hang on, don’t give me that wth? look. Let me explain. But those of you lookin for REAL Coyotes news may wanna skip this entry… be sure to come back tomorrow for the Season Preview though
Pucks and Passports is a classier more intimate version of the player’s luncheon. The Yotes used to do a charity gig where you could purchase a seat at a table and sit and eat with the players and coaches. It was one of those rubber chicken events where the basic saving grace was talking to the players and staff in a comfortable setting, like you would friends at dinner. This year the Yotes flipped the script and held a dinner instead. Everybody dressed up and the fare was a selection of dishes from countries that our players are from.
The event was held at the Job and the arena was all duded up like a restaurant. Pretty lighting, linen table cloths, some pool tables, a live band (featuring a couple of Doug Moss’ sons! and man they weren’t bad at all)plus uniformed servers, both at the food tables and wandering around offering samplings of food. There was a stage and a few small presentaions and the introduction of the team. (poor Pang murdered Z’s home town pronunciation too and now I dont feel bad cuz Z wouldn’t pronounce it for Pang either). The boys were sportin one of a kind hometown jerseys that were later ponied up for the silent auction. Then the fun started.
