This year’s AHL All Star game was in Providence, Rhode Island. I was very excited because I LOVE the Providence Place Mall! I’d been planning a shoe shopping excursion since the AHL announced the location last year!
Here’s Kaitlyn in our hotel room playing with her Leapster Explorer…

Center Ice…
Chris Summers, our representative from the Portland Pirates this year, at the Skills Competition warm-up…
Summers is #5…
Ready to cheer on Chris and the rest of the Eastern Conference!
Player Introductions…
Singing God Bless America…
Chris competed in the Fastest Skater Competition. Not only did he win, he set a new AHL record!
Being interviewed after breaking the record…
Chris getting his Fastest Skater award…
Let’s play spot Cyndi… Kevin apparently took a picture of me getting the guys’ autographs. I’m in the middle of all that mess.
Kevin adding to his emergency vehicle photograph collection…
Here we are on the way to the mall…
The walkway into the mall. We actually ran into some players about 10 seconds after this picture was taken. You can see some of them getting ready to come through the glass doors towards us…
That night was the All Star game… Eastern vs. Western Conference. For the game, Chris Summers was #2 for the Eastern Conference.
The pre-game warm-up…
Kaitlyn was excited to get the free pompoms at the door…
Player introductions…
Game time!
Nothing better than hot chocolate and hockey!
My little cheerleader!
The game MVP… He got a hat trick and the game winning goal!
Rumor has it next years will be in St. John’s (Canada). Hopefully we will be able to pull off some tickets to that and continue our tradition.
