I had to go in earlier than normal for a Saturday and I was busy all day. After work the family went downtown to catch a couple of hockey games. There was a Rivermen Legends vs. Peoria Firefighters game to raise money for a charity. After that was the current Rivermen vs. Lake Erie Ice Monsters. There were several promotions leading up to this game in order to bring in a big crowd. The official attendance was 10,129 which is a Rivermen record. It was really weired to see that many people there because most games there's only about 3500, but we were treated to a great game. The Rivermen went up 2-0 but their dream of their first shutout this season was not to be. Lake Erie cut the lead in half and threatened to tie when they pulled their goalie for an extra attacker. The Rivermen prevailed and got an empty netter to clinch the 3-1 win. It was a good night!
Bonus: Lourdes behaved well last night and tonight! I let her know that I really appreciate that she was a good girl and that I want her to continue behaving. Let's hope the positive reinforcement works.

I've been reading you for ages, and I only just worked out what kind of sport the Rivermen play. Hockey!
Their team symbol is a little odd though
Hockey! Yes! As far as the team symbol, well he's the Captain of a riverboat. Peoria is on the Illinois River which still has lots of boat/barge traffic.
When the team first started years ago, it was the Peoria Prancers! So I like Rivermen better.
Look at the American Hockey League website to see some other strange names/mascots/symbols.
