Sketchy Everett Volume 20 - Silvertips Hockey
Click to enlarge.
While many were hunkered down awaiting the BIG STORM warning last Saturday, I joined 7,500 of my closest friends for a raucous hockey game at Xfinity arena! There, the wind and rain had no effect on the cheers, jeers and sportsmanship of the Everett Silvertips versus their big rival, the Seattle Thunderbirds.
Since 2003, the Silvertips have been Everett's own hockey team! They compete in the Western Division of the major junior league which is overseen by Canada, because duh. If that doesn't mean anything to you, this might: 19 Silvertips players have been drafted by the NHL.
"Pink the Rink" was the theme of the night, for Breast Cancer Awareness. The donations brought in by the Silvertips will benefit hundreds of Snohomish County women. Go Tips!
Editor's note: Speaking of the 'Tips, have seen Lamoureux Real Estate's Silvertips Commercial? It's hilarious. Check it out:
Since the Everett Silvertips Hockey Club first dropped the puck in Everett, Lamoureux Real Estate has been your Hockey Home Team! Can we help YOU buy or sell a home in Silvertips Country? The answer to that question is in this video!
