Hockey Night In..........Switzerland!

Robert Kohler told Brian, Pat, and I about a national hockey game coming up between Switzerland and of course Canada. So needless to say we were there like cheese on a pizza. We gathered up the Canadians and almost everyone came plus some of our other friends from different countries as well...Robert came too. We all dressed as Canadian and red as possible (even though Swiss colors are red and white also) and brought all our flags we could fine; to have a huge cheering section for Canada.



The event was a lot of fun and were actually more Canadian fans than we expected to see.
Here are some of them that we saw near us:

The team wasn't the real national team just a team of Canadians playing in Europe right now and it wasn't the real Swiss team either. So obviously it wasn't the best game to watch; a little slow and not as good but there were some really nice goals by both teams.

Also European hockey is very different than the NHL that we're used to....especially when it comes to hitting! The game was also very quiet in comparison; the fans weren't really crazy and loud but there were a lot of Swiss flags waved when they scored. Then when Canada scored the few cheering sections stood up and yelled but it wasn't enough to make a huge difference.

Unfortunately the Canadians lost 6 - 4 in the end but it was a fun night anyways. We were all very disappointed but were glad that we came out to cheer on our country.




We traveled to Holland this weekend to see Amsterdam
