Yeah, I think especially if we have any kind of larger group, we’ll want a reservation for dinner. We discovered the hard way in Portugal a few years ago that reservations were necessary there even just for two people on a random Wednesday night. My guess is that you probably don’t need to make a reservation super far ahead of time, but at least a few days in advance is probably good.
(And I would love to get together for dinner Friday and/or Saturday nights in between games!)
Between Games on Saturday works best for us. We’re going to squeeze in a visit to Titanic Belfast between games on Friday. The rink and the Titanic are just a 10 minute walk apart.
I’m likely going to do the Titanic either Friday or Saturday morning before games…haven’t quite decided which yet.
The obvious problem with Saturday is not knowing the start time. But yeah, it would be great to meet up with everyone for a meal.
I found this CBC documentary on YouTube. It was apparently produced in about 2004, maybe four years before my son played the Belfast Junior Giants over there with his Eaglebrook School team. It seems hockey became a unifying force in Belfast sports culture as opposed the historic polarization between the area’s football teams. Great watch!
Man, I just watched the first two minutes and realized the whole thing is almost an hour. I’m going to have to squeeze that in soon.
The CBC is really good at those sorts of stories. Even better 20 years ago.
It’s def worth the watch, especially for those of us going over. One of the best moments in it for me is near the end when both the boys’ moms are sitting together at the rink cheering their kids on!
For those of us who couldnt make the trip here is a nice tournament site and the games will be televised on FloHockey.
It’s game day! Let’s go!!! 
(Also, I did not get nearly enough sleep, for which I blame certain parties who shall remain nameless at this time. Who may or may not be in the below photo at the first bar that we closed down last night 
)
SHU has their band here!
That’s one raucous looking group!
I see why Union is ranked…

Eric Frank is here🤦♀️. In the earlier game the AHA refs were so much more bearable than the NCHC refs have been.
We get to see former Miami commit and Ohio kid Ryan Williams. Looks like Tanyon Bajzers brother is a scratch though.
Union won 8-1. We’d face them with a win
Their goalie, Cameron Korpi played with a number of our players on the tri city Storm maybe they know how to score against him 
Apparently we scored. My stream hasn’t started yet
Correct. Walker pots one in.
