On Saturday March 7th 2015 I had the opportunity
to attend the Toronto Marlies game at Ricoh Coliseum with my daughters. I know very little about sports as I have
always considered the kitchen to be my arena of choice; so when I had received
an email earlier that week offering us tickets I jumped at the opportunity to
teach my girls something new while having a fun family outing.
We arrived at the stadium a few minutes early and grabbed
our awesome swag bags (thank you MLSE!) and put on our awesome Marlies gear. We heard cheering from in the stadium and saw
lots of vendors with delicious goodies. Advancing
towards them, the girls decided on nachos and pizza.
I was thrilled to find a salted old fashioned
pretzel and ice cold Canadian definitely putting me in the traditional Canadian
Hockey Spirit.
The Marlies game was really fast paced and competitive the
rink seems much more up close and personal when you are in the Arena than when you watch it on TV. In between the
periods they have generous enough intermissions for you to head up and grab more
good eats. Luxurious varieties of
poutine are available along with all kinds of gourmet hot dogs; including a
scrumptious poutine-dog with crispy potato sticks, brown gravy and cheese curds. They have traditional stadium favorites like popcorn,
cotton candy, onion rings and many more.
So that’s big hot guys in uniform (plus tons of soldiers in
uniform as I was there for army day OMG!!) great food, beer, pretzels, awesome
on ice action…. Like could this be the most Canadian family activity ever? Well I will have to one up it the next time! I’ll
make the kids sing Celine Dion in the car, wear plaid shirts and walk up in our
snow shoes from the parking so we can win the most Canadian family of the year
award! Watch out! Lol
Planning on being in Toronto any time soon? Are you looking
for an awesome family activity? Date Idea? Girls or boys night out? Try attending a game for the Toronto Marlies
Hockey Team! Great food, beer, action
and all at a way more affordable price than the other Toronto teams. This leaves you more money for what’s
important, food and beer. Oh, and don’t forget
to grab some Marlies gear too! Super cute and warm for these frigid winter
months.
