I should definitely try getting out to see Matthew Robertson play. Going to school downtown and haven't made it to the new rink yet. Worth picking up some cheap minor league tix to check it out.

 

[Fmrnuckfan95]

I suppose I should go to a kings game some time this year, I've never been to the new rink.

They're quite fun actually. Good hockey, some mistakes it being junior, but you can see Fix Wolansky who's a good prospect for Columbus and Robertson who's going first round this year.
