MMBC watch as Monarchs drowned River Rats
02/14/04

We packed the bus at 11:30 am and headed
out for a little fun in Albany.  We only stopped
one at a rest area in western Mass to let
people stretch and take care of business.  
We arrived at Pepsi Arena in time to watch
practice.  Usually we the teams place us
behind the net, but we were near the blue line
this time.  Albany had a pretty good size
crowd for this game.

Albany’s hospitality guys Dave & Fred loaded
the luggage compartments of the bus with 3
platters of sandwiches and 4 platters of
cookies from Mr. Subb.  They food was
delicious and the Rats BC folks were very
nice and welcoming.

The Albany Booster Club was not the only
group that treated us at the game.  The
Monarchs, behind a great game by Mathieu
Chouinard, treated us to a 3-0 shutout win.  
Following the team on the road is always fun
and Mathieu acknowledged when he skated
out on the ice after being named the Star of
the Game.

After the game, we started our trip home.  
This time we stopped at a western Mass to
enjoy the ton of food that was given to us by
the ARRBC.  All the extra food was donated to
a family in need in Manchester.

We arrived back in Manchester around 11
pm.  It was time to hit the sack in our own
homes.
