Girls Hockey Trip 2010: We Have a Name...and a Sign!

On the eve of our departure for Toronto, I'm thrilled to announce we have a winner in the "Name Meg and Nadine's Girls Hockey Trip 2010 Contest." It was a tough choice, and I'd like to thank everyone who participated for their creative entries.

Here are some of the submissions:

• The Taking of Toronto (simple, yet effective...)
  
• Purple is the New Blue (Kings and Leafs fans understand. If YOU don't, become a hockey fan, would ya?)
• The Raking The Leafs Tour (references to kicking the butt of our opponent are ALWAYS welcome!)
  
• The "Look Out Lizzie" Tour (this was a Canadian submission, apparently with reference to the Kings being the REAL royalty, not Queen Elizabeth. Hmm...very cute but requires too much explanation)
  
• The Checkmate Tour (another Canadian submission, with the explanation "King over Queen wins")
  
• The Northern Exposure Tour (I loved this one, especially because it makes me think of John Corbett)
  

But in the end, one entry stood head and shoulders above the rest. So without further ado, the officially licensed name of our 2010 hockey trip will be...

******* The L-EH Tour *******

Those of you with Canadian heritage will get this one immediately. Any ladies out there dating hockey players (lucky you!) will also understand. The rest of you may not, but I'm OK with that, because when I saw it I laughed so hard I knew it was perfect. And if you don't get it, click here and you'll understand.

Congratulations to our winner Denise, who will receive this beautifully wrapped Kings "Pride = Passion = Power" T-shirt!



And every tour needs a sign, so the Air Canada Centre patrons will be enjoying this during the game.



Nice sign, eh?

Next stop - TORONTO!
