Photos: Opening Night Games

 

NOVA Cool Cats coach Randy Brawley consults with a Washington Ice Dog.

The Washington Ice Dogs vs. the East Coast Jumbos.

He caught me taking his photo. I love his expression.

We were worried our volunteer t-shirts wouldn't be bright enough. What do you think?

One of the Baltimore Saints unwinds after his first game.

The NOVA Cool Cats mascot, pretty graceful on his/her skates.

All players get the support they need to participate.

Even the mascots show good sportsmanship at the USA Hockey Disabled Festival, but you could argue that hugging opposing players while the puck is in play may be taking it too far.
