One young Campbell River hockey player 91裸聊视频� and fan 91裸聊视频� recently had a very, very good day down in Anaheim.
Mackinley Whalen, 11, picked up on Ryan Kesler when he was a Vancouver Canuck. She wasn91裸聊视频檛 really a fan of the team 91裸聊视频� her parents are both Montreal Canadiens fans, after all 91裸聊视频� but she certainly did like 91裸聊视频渢hat number 17 guy,91裸聊视频� she says, and when he was traded to Anaheim, her fandom followed.
91裸聊视频淚f he was traded to Toronto, I91裸聊视频檇 probably be a Leafs fan,91裸聊视频� she says.
91裸聊视频淣o you wouldn91裸聊视频檛,91裸聊视频� interrupts her mom April, half-jokingly.
So when Kesler went down with injury earlier this season, she decided to write him a letter wishing him a speedy recovery and letting him know they were going to be down that way with tickets to a pair of games.
91裸聊视频淎t first I was sad that you will not be playing,91裸聊视频� the letter reads, 91裸聊视频渂ut I just want you to get better soon. If you are around the arena for those games and feel like some popcorn I91裸聊视频檓 willing to share mine with you.91裸聊视频�
The letter included her seat number for each game.
Apparently, April had added her cell number to the letter before it was sent, because she got a text message from Kesler letting them know he planned on joining them during the Ducks/Predators game Nov. 3. She didn91裸聊视频檛 tell Mackinley, though, because she thought it would be better as a surprise.
91裸聊视频淚t was so awesome,91裸聊视频� Mackinley says. 91裸聊视频淗e came down and I thought, 91裸聊视频榠s this a fake person trying to tease me or a joke or something?91裸聊视频� but then he sat with me and had popcorn91裸聊视频nd watched almost the full period with me.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淗e was so down to Earth and engaging,91裸聊视频� April says. 91裸聊视频淗e was genuinely interested in everything she had to say. Even my husband said, 91裸聊视频業 wanted to hate the guy, but I couldn91裸聊视频檛. He was so nice.91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�
The Whalen91裸聊视频檚 go down to the U.S. fairly frequently to watch hockey, because it91裸聊视频檚 actually significantly less expensive than going over for a game in Vancouver.
91裸聊视频淲e can fly down to Anaheim or Florida for a game and including the flights and hotels it91裸聊视频檚 still cheaper than going to a Canucks home game,91裸聊视频� April says. 91裸聊视频淵ou can get into a game down there for like $16.91裸聊视频�
And while they91裸聊视频檙e down there watching hockey, they can see some other things, as well.
91裸聊视频淢y mom made me go to Disneyland,91裸聊视频� Mackinley says. 91裸聊视频淏ut I just wanted to watch hockey.91裸聊视频�
Mckinley is quite the athlete herself. She plays for two local hockey teams 91裸聊视频� one mixed and one girls91裸聊视频� team 91裸聊视频� as well as being as burgeoning golfer. She is currently enrolled in a golf academy in Parksville with hopes to maybe one day become a professional golfer.
91裸聊视频淏ut I91裸聊视频檇 like to play hockey professionally, too,91裸聊视频� she says. 91裸聊视频淚 like golf, but I love hockey. It91裸聊视频檚 my passion.91裸聊视频�
