Last chance to see the Whalers

May 14 20:51 UTC 2001

If you're a hockey fan in the SE Michigan area, you might want to check 
out the Plymouth Whalers.  They play at the Compuware Sports Arena in 
Plymouth, about a 30 min drive down M-14 from Ann Arbor.  They're in the 
OHL Finals (The OHL is a Major-Junior hockey league, a good number of 
people go on to play in the NHL, however none go on to play college 
hockey as the NCAA does not consider it to be an amature league.  All 
the rules are the same as in the NHL, with one difference - all the 
players and refs must wear a visor (half-shield) on their helmet).  The 
Whalers are playing the Ottawa 67's.  Right now, the series is 3-2 in 
favor of Ottawa.  Game 6 is Tuesday in Ottawa, and game 7 (hopefully it 
will be necessary) will be Wednesday Evening in Plymouth.  See the 
Whalers webpage, http://www.plymouthwhalers.com for details about how to 
order (well "reserve" actually .. you won't be charged until they know 
for sure that there will be a game 7) tickets.  Tickets are much cheaper 
than Wings tickets, and it's probably your last chance to see live 
hockey before the summer.

Sports Arena, just a hockey fan trying to let more people know of this 
event)
