Olympic Hockey with XShot

My XShot camera extender went with me to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics for FOUR days. Everywhere I went, people noticed the XShot and asked me how it worked and where they could get one. Of course I had to demonstrate!. The most common comment was, ‘OH, I really could have used that on my holiday to …’

Sean, Crystal and I and two friends had tickets to the Women’s Olympic Hockey, Sweden vs Slovakia last night at Thunderbird arena at UBC. It was so awesome to be part of the crowd, sitting in the 5th row between the blue line and net. The absolute best part of the evening was ‘people watching’ and listening to the crowd. It surprised me how many Slovakia supporters were attending – nice to see them out there supporting their team. This is the first time they’ve taken part in the Olympics and put up a great fight but Sweden totally outplayed them.

It wasn’t easy to get everyone to look at the camera when there were all those HAWT young ladies on the ice, but during a break I managed to catch a great shot of the five of us.
