As planned, we headed out to Phoenix on Wednesday and this location has been all about sports; both playing and viewing.
We started off by watching 'Capt Canada', Steve Nash, and his Phoenix Suns beat the visiting Golden State Warriors. What a game! End to end action - even Jim enjoyed it!
On Saturday night we knocked off the second arena on our mission to see a professional hockey game in every NHL city with a visit to JOBing.com Arena to watch the Coyotes host the Edmonton Oilers.
Contrary to the excitement of the basketball game, this one was a bit of a snoozer. For those of you who watched the late HNIC game, you already know the Oilers came out on top. Despite the team's poor showing, the fans sure love their Coyotes. Ran into an older gentleman on the way in. Said he played five different sports in his younger years but had he had the opportunity he would have exchanged all five if he could have played hockey. Growing up in the desert he said the only exposure he had to the game was at the movies when the film clips showed Rocket Richard scoring.
On Monday we got in our only game of golf for the week. We managed to scrounge two free rounds at The Legacy Golf Resort. The cost of golf here is the only deterent to returning for a longer visit. That being said, this course was fantastic, the company was great and even the game wasn't half bad!
On Wednesday we're off again, this time we're headed to Yuma and our first view of the mighty Colorado River.
