Tom, this is just free ice that the Xcel gives to the NHL Alumni once or twice a month for a beer-league type skate, not an actual charity game, so I don't have to try to catch rockets from guys like Phil Housley and Reed Larson.
Since I didn't play in the NHL, I bring the beer....
On an on-topic note, am I the only one really freaking jacked about deer-season?!?!?! The new house has great storage, so I can just pull out tubs of hunting gear and organize it, drool, fantasize about being in the woods, etc.... Thinning the squirrel population with a .22 pellet gun, while helping my shooting I am sure, is NOT helping with the pre-season excitement.
