Hey all, been following this board for quite some time now and decided to join the day of the uproar over Stone and Teubert. Would you believe that it took until today to finally get my user name registered?! Unbelievable..

Anyway, Been a season ticket holder for many years now and have followed the Wheaties pretty closely for about the past 13 years or so.. Raised in Dauphin so spent lots of time watching the Kings play. Worked in the rink there for a couple of years too in the early 90s. Good place to watch hockey, always lively fans!

Go Wheaties Go!!! :groovy:

[dagley]

Welcome, good stuff...cant have enough Wheaties fans!

[moose]

Thank you.. :cool:

[Boltz9]

Thank you.. :cool:

Welcome. As a joining gift I will make you a signature like the one every Wheaties fan has if you want lol. If so just pick a player.

Excellent! I'll take Calvert... :eek: Thanks Boltz!!

[dagley]

Make sure you get him an avatar too :P

[moose]

Nah I'll get my own avatar and I only said Calvert cause Boltz already has that.. And cause I watched him play when he was younger. He used to play with my buddy's kid with the midgets when they won the championship.

How about a Lewy Sig? Anybody have one of him already?

[Boltz9]

Excellent! I'll take Calvert... :eek: Thanks Boltz!!

Noooo... It can't be a player that's already taken, we need to diversify. I think the ones that people already have are... Calvert, Schenn, Bestland, Ferland, Stone, Rajala. Think that's it.

Get a Hale signature!!! Everyone seems to hate on Hale in here, someone needs to show that guy some love. GO HALE!!!!!! Woooooo!

Umm, NO! I wouldn't want a sig of a guy sitting in the penalty box with a bleeding nose.. Boogaard'd

A Lewy sig when he had the 'stach would be wicked if possible Boltz.. :bounce:

[dagley]

OMG, DIGI...MUSTACHE IS BACK! LOL

Doable, I'll just have to find a picture. If you find one let me know.

Good sig right there, lmao

[moose]

Alright, not sure where to look for one but I'll try.

[Digi]

O snap, Lewy used to have a moustache??? What the deuce, how come I was never informed of this?!?!?! He should have started one for the playoffs and him and Dowling could have had a "Moustache Duel"!

We should get tape on stashes. That be the ****.

[Digi]

That is by far my favorite fight of the whole year. I love that as soon as the refs break it up Lewy just starts talking **** to him.

Didn't you ever see him with it? He had a goatee for a while last year too.. :eek:

Can't grow one??

[Digi]

Unfortunately I did not, as I am what Boltz likes to call a Bandwagoner, or something along those lines. I only went to one game last year:(.

However, unlike most of the people who just bought season tickets this year, o they could guarantee their Mem Cup tix, I will be getting ssn tix next year, and the next, etc.

How many did you go to this season? It can get expensive but its worth it. Myself, my wife and 2 boys go every game. Missed 3 games this year actually. By the time a guy bought season tix, playoff tix and Mem Cup tix for the whole clan it got pretty expensive but its an awesome way for the family to get out and do stuff together and kill the winter.

Besides, the price IS very reasonable and if you say it fast it doesn't sound like that much cash.. :D

[dagley]

Haven't missed a game in eight + seasons, including playoffs...wonder what my consecutive streak is. Attended 37 regular season games (final Pats home game) and watched the entire first round live. Digi can't deny I had some influence on him getting season tickets.

[Digi]

I managed to make it to 33 games this year, as well as the first two games of the playoffs(and whatever other home playoff dates we have, I'll be at those too).

Luckily, I only have to get tickets for myself, so it wasn't to bad moneywise. I can see where if you were bringing your family it could get a little costly, but like you said, it is honestly a reasonable price. I have absolutely no idea what other citites in the CHL charge for their season, flex, or even individual tickets, but I know that I'm glad that I live in Brandon and can go to a regular season game for 9 bucks! Beauty!

[dagley]

Other teams arent too bad, in the $500 range...some are outrageous, such as Everett. Big market teams, like Vancouver/Calgary are in the $600 range. But, we are lucky in this city....$325 dollars, to see a quality team year in, year out...and see the players we have saw come through this city is remarkable. Shame our city can't fill a 6,000 seat arena (with standing room)

That has always puzzled me too.. You don't have to go too far from here to find die hard fans, the rink in Dauphin is always full and LOUD! That town of 8000 people puts 1800 - 2000 fans in the rink now and they are 3 times louder than Wheat Kings fans.. I took my dad to a Wheaties game last year and he wanted to know who died that everyone was so quiet..:o

[dagley]

As I tell my buddy at work, it's a privilege to be able to say "Yeah, I saw Schenn when he played junior when he was 16"...still remember some guys I saw play junior when I was younger. Shea Weber, Dion Phaneuf, Ian White, Pavel Brendl, Eric Fehr, Nigel Dawes, Joffrey Lupul, Ryan Getzlaf, Andrew Ladd, Brandon Dubinsky, Mike Green, Dustin Boyd, Martin Hanzel, Jay Bouwmeester...isn't even the best players ive saw play...just guys that come to mind. Some are NHL players, some are not...but the sheer impact they had on junior hockey was amazing. I've seen some great things in 8+ seasons of season tickets...WHL finals vs Kelowna (We got swept, but hey...still), Conference Finals...and still the best game I've ever been too was Game 7 vs. Calgary in 2004...that building was jammed, loud and fans had fun. Still amazing to think how great that team was we had (Stone, Fehr, Konsorada, Monych, Later...the fab five we called them), mimic the team we have this season (except this years team is better...just have to see if they can prove it). I would love nothing more than to win the WHL this season, the Memorial Cup and say this is the best team we have ever put together in Brandon. We have been spoiled here...and the prospects look just as promising...Liston, Fransoo, Swyrpia, Roy.

[moose]

That Game 7 vs Calgary in 04 was a classic! Best atmosphere ever at a Wheaties game, great game, great teams!

[dagley]

You were at that game? By far the best atmosphere I have ever experienced at a hockey game, bar none.

[Allin44]

Are we all going to meet up at the Mem Cup for some beers or what?

[dagley]

Of course, pregame at the Keg or Boston Pizza or something.

Yep sure was! Intense game, intense series even though the first game was a complete embarassment.. 10 - 0 for Cowgary. The rest of the series was intense, Stone and Later played HUGE!

Or the Bar they'll have at the MB Room? I can't imagine trying to get into the Keg that week

[moose]

Wasn't that series in '05? They played the Raiders in the second round and the final game of the series was in Bdn, Rejean Beauchemin was the Raiders goalie and I sat beside his dad for that final game which was also Beauchemin's 21st birthday..

Calgary game 7 is my favorite as well. The building was electric. I know the Finals were forgettable due to the result, but we actually won one game. Series went 5 games in the 2-3-2 format. Nice year for Kelly getting the maximum games possible in three straight series. Can't remember what happened in the first round.

Probably my second favorite game. Another packed house and some noisy P.A. fans made it a fun atmosphere. Mr. Beauchemin sat in the same section as I for a few of the games in that series as well and that guy liked his beer.

Edmonton has cheap seats (along the glass) for $300; For the ends its 600; on the sides 800; founders club, which is on the side with players bench and includes Oilers lounge access and parking is $1000! BRANDON is very lucky in their pricing.

Although you could buy a $300 package along the glass and move up, it's not like there's a shortage of seats up higher!

Moose Jaw in the first round. They played Moose Jaw in the last game of the reg season too or maybe it was the second last game, Tim Konsorada went down awkwardly at a faceoff with a MJ player coming down on top of him and his stick somehow wedged his arm back and seperated his shoulder. Missed the first whole series I think, came back early but was never the same player. 2 games were played in Wpg for sure, maybe 3.

Haha just joke's man it's all good. I didn't have season tickets last year either, although I made it to most games even though I was living in The Peg. If any of my spelling is wrong... Let's just say I'm a little over the legal limit :bevvy:

Looking forward to Saskatoon tomorrow!:groovy:

How about a bet 'GBG BLEED BLUE'... If the Wheaties win game 1, then you owe me a beer during game 2, and vice versa. Like you said your wearing a big blue hat and me a Schenn jersey, we should be as easy to find as a skinny kid at fat camp.

Thats why we call him skinny :P

That sounds good, it would be cool to meet up and talk some hockey with you guys in person! I personally don't care where we meet, as long as there are cold beer around, I'm there.

I know man, it's all good. You guys better make some noise for the boys while you are out there. I'll be listening to both games on the radio, so when they score I wanna hear you on that horn, boy!

[dagley]

I went pretty ape **** on that horn in Regina, pretty sure you could NOT hear me, lol. Definitely need to get one of those, or Boltz needs to let me use the yellow one again

[Boltz9]

A Lewy sig when he had the 'stach would be wicked if possible Boltz.. :bounce:

Sorry I've been busy lately, I'll get on that signature today.

[GoWheaties/67's]

The game seven against Prince Albert in 2004 was more electrifying I thought as the PA fans didn't want to lose their standing room place and paid for the beers so that they could stay where they were. They were sure an lively bunch.
