A little background to start my story I need to share. I usually sit in the suites at JMSIA now and I am a lot more disconnected from the fun and zaniness of being near the Misfit's at home games. I was not up in the suites at tonight's game and had a father/daughter night with my 5 year old (I have 3 children between 3 and 8 yo). Tonight I sat in section K row 1 to be near the Misfit's and be right on the glass to help keep my daughter's attention. Now on to my story.....
Well, I'll start by saying I chose my seats wisely and realize why the students at Tech, the staff at Tech sporting events, and why JMSIA is the best home rink in all of college hockey. My 5 year old daughter left tonight's games still not really knowing anything about hockey itself besides that she wants to play and the Huskies score a lot of goals, but she will forever be a Husky fan now thanks to the students in the Misfit's, the guy working the penalty box, and of course her favorite band(usually the reason she always wanted to go before

).
First, the guy working the penalty box smiled when daughter was making silly faces at the UAH players that got penalties and then chuckled when my daughter asked one player why he was sitting there and not by his team. To the players credit, he chuckled too and responded, "cause I got in trouble." The guy working the box gave my daughter a game puck during the game also... Thank You!!!
Second... the Pep band... You are the reason she wants to go to Tech events. She loves all your crazy hats and gets excited every time she hears you marching in. You guys provide an awesome atmosphere and you have fun doing it and it shows!!!
Lastly, the Misfit's.... You guys are AWESOME. You provide an atmosphere at every home game and most away games that is second to none, but tonight you gave a little girl some memories she'll have forever. You guys came down and let her play the cowbell, she was constantly trying to follow any cheers you guys started, and then after the game you came and presented her with a T-shirt and told her she was a Misfit for life cause of her awesome cheering!!!!! You made my 5 year old's night and made her a Huskies fan forever!!!! You guys are a class act!!!! Thank You!!!!
GO HUSKIES!!!!
