Mystery Tour: 2014 Edition

This is the week! The Raiders' Mystery Tour takes off in 5 days.

 Thanks to all the kind Raiders who have paid their fees and sent me a photo of themselves (birth-age 10). You make life so much easier for the Planning Committee.

See you all bright and early on Saturday morning -  9:30 am sharp from the NEW departure point - Duane's home. Dress is smart casual.



Last Game of the Season

Game Time

"I feel a goal coming on!"

"Don't worry guys ... I got everything."

The Raiders' version of triangle pose.

"Bring it on Brantford!"

"Have a good one, guys!"

That's a Wrap (almost)!

Well guys,

What started in October will sadly be coming to an end on Friday. Along the way we will have played 21 games, 1 tournament, and 2 bonus games, for a total of 26 games of hockey!

Not counting the tournament, at the time of this post our record is:

11 Wins, 8 Losses, 2 Ties.

But before everyone starts getting down, I want to assure you that our Mystery Tour committee is hard at work planning another fun event. Make sure to keep June 7, 2014 open. Once again, you don't want to miss it!

Shots From The Big House

A view from our seats at the 2014 Winter
Classic at The Big House - Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, MI

Just thought I'd share a few shots from my recent trip to the NHL Winter Classic over the holidays. It was an amazing experience, even though Detroit suffered a 3-2 SO loss, after outplaying those pesky Leafs. Thanks Bernier!

Julie and Michael at the Fan Zone, Comerica Park, Alumni Day.

New Year's Eve Skate, Campus Martius Park, Detroit

Although we were excited to head into a shoot-out, it was starting to get a little cold.

Finished the trip off with an awesome brunch at The Hudson Cafe, Woodward Ave., Detroit.

You have to check out this panorama shot of Michigan Stadium. See if you can find Pete in Section 16. We're in Section 38.

Game Added January 2, 2014

Hey guys,
We had a great start to the year. With the win last Tuesday we are at 6 and 3.
All of you guys are playing great, getting patient with the puck, letting me see the puck and winning the battles. Give yourselves a pat on the back!
I just wanted to let you all know that a game has been added on January 2nd against the Old Crocs at Dickson Arena, 8 to 9pm. Let me know as soon as possible on your availability for this game as it falls during Christmas break and some of you guys may be away.
