12) I’m often asked where the seats are located. We try to please, but realize not everyone can be.

      the game tickets. If you have a request for game tickets only, we’ll try to accommodate if only a few are needed.
      However, there may be a small service charge. When tickets are purchased for our trips, our allotment is usually
      only for people “traveling” with the PFFC!!

14) The PFFC cannot be held responsible if the time or day of the game changes and alternate travel plans need
      to be made.
 

Here are two articles from  Alan Ellis  about the last NY Islanders trip
                               and from Lou Milano about the last Ottawa trip for you to enjoy.

 Last Call for Road Trip by Alan Ellis

It was the last weekend in March, a GORGEOUS Saturday.  What could be better? 
OH YEAH!!!  Jump on a bus & go to a hockey game!!!
 
Yes, as the first week of spring was coming to an end, the final Fan Club road trip of the (regular) season wound its way up the
New Jersey turnpike, across the Verrazano Bridge, along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, to the Long Island Expressway, to
exit 39 and down three roads (Glen Cove, Old Country & Merrick Ave.) to Nassau Coliseum, to see the Flyers take on the feisty
NY Islanders (they've been pretty tough & playing well of late). 





Settling into our seats after the National Anthem, it took all of 2 seconds for the fireworks to start, as Dan Carcillo went at it with Michael
Haley.  20 seconds later, it was Sean O'Donnell going at it with (NHL penalty minute leader) Zenon Konopka.  Once both teams got the
fights out of the way, the Flyers struck first.  A faceoff win to Jeff Carter and he quickly wristed the puck in the far corner past Rick DiPietro.

Just 22 seconds later, James Van Riemsdyk scored goal #1 of his 1st career hat trick.  Blake Comeau cut the lead to 2-1, but JVR scored
a power play goal later in the 1st.  Meanwhile Sergei BOB-rovsky was OUTSTANDING the entire game, making at least two notable saves,
one on Kyle Okposo in the 2nd and another on P.A. Parenteau in the 3rd.  JVR completed his hat trick with a one-timer from between the
circles.  Hats were thrown by Flyers fans seated near the ice and a shoe was also in the mix (Coatesy pointed this out).  The game clock
wound down & we celebrated the win, which gave the Flyers 100 pts.  After the game, we picked up pizza and ate it on the bus. 
At 1:00AM on Sunday 3/27, we arrived back at Voorhees, tired but happy to see the “W”.  The last (regular season) road trip was over…

Great Job AGAIN, LOU! 
We couldn't do it without you.

 No Rest for the Weary… by Lou Milano

So, what does one do five days after returning from a trip to Carolina?  How about traveling the following weekend to Ottawa? 
This is what many of us did on February 25th to the 27th.

Two busloads of PFFC people (approximately 70), fresh off a 4-3 OT win over the Islanders, boarded around midnight (or 12:01 AM) on
February 25th and off to Ottawa we were.  Hoping for a smooth ride, we were greeted with snow along the PA Turnpike which continued
into NY RT 81.  So maybe not a smooth ride but everyone seemed to have fun along the way.  Around 6:30 AM, we stopped for breakfast
at a Bob Evans near Watertown NY, which was totally prepared for the onslaught of hungry PFFC people.  Everyone ate and boarded for
what we thought (and hoped) would be a smooth go through Customs.  WRONG…

The stop at Customs since 2001 has been “adventurous” at best.  There were times where everyone had to exit the bus to be checked in
the Customs Office, sometimes they’ll do a random check, etc.  One member, several years ago, was even denied entrance into Canada
(but this is a different story).  This time seemed like any other but the first ever where the Passport Officer took everyone’s Passports. 
What we thought would be a routine check turned into an HOUR wait as some problems needed to be cleared before our “release”. 
As soon as this was completed we were cleared and on our way…

We arrived at the Westin Ottawa downtown around 1 PM.  After check in, everyone toured the city, skated on the Canal or went shopping.
The best thing about Canada is if you’re a hockey fan, it’s on every channel, newspapers have PAGES of coverage.  Where round-table
discussion in the US is on the other three “major” sports, in Canada it’s all about hockey.  That night everyone dispersed into their own
groups but fun was had.  Some people went to an Irish Bar, some went to the Keg where Molson Glasses were “exchanged” (you know
who you are…), some even were tossed from the Keg (you know who YOU are…).  All in all, it was a great night for everyone.  The best
thing about being at a bar in Canada is the talk amongst every hockey fan there, no matter what team you root for. 
Plus, there’s that evening’s NHL games on every TV just like you’d see in the US, ha ha!

Saturday’s fun included a trip to the Glue Pot Bar, an old PFFC favorite from years ago.  Although there was disappointment in one Walt
(My VALT) Smith as there was no Mike’s Lemonade to purchase.  But we had fun anyway.  Some people skated on the Canal, some hung
out in town or at the mall (adjacent to our hotel).  At around 4:30 PM, we were off to the game.  The game was great for the first period as
the orange and black led 1-0 after the first.  Then…  Even though the Senators won 4-1, everyone seemed to have a good time.  Afterward
it was back to the hotel, where everyone scattered into the different bars in the area.  We stayed at the hotel bar. 

Sunday’s ride home was entertaining as Joe Perez (aka, Joe the Kid) and friends entertained the bus with their ‘humor”.  But again,
the stop at the border was adventurous as we were held up for over an hour as the Border Police thought they had nabbed someone
in our group.  As it turned out, it was a case of mistaken identity.

We arrived home safely, thanks to our great bus drivers, at around 8:30 PM.  Hopefully you all had a great time.  Personally I want to thank
Joe Fisher and his crew (yes, you too SWBG) for making this trip easy for me.  And also the bus drivers, for guiding us through the nasty
weather on the way up.  Lastly, I want to thank all of YOU that made not only this trip such a success but all the trips this season. 
I hope to see every one of you on a PFFC Trip next season, as well as our Summer Bowling League.

Thanks,
Lou
