Our First Day in Whitehorse


While our first day in Whitehorse has come and gone. It was a very busy yet uneventful day. We awoke to thankfully find that all of our luggage had arrived.

After a quick breakfast, it was off to Takhini Arena for our first practice. It's a quite nice rink, despite being an older facility, with a capacity around 1500. It was also the rink in which the boys had played in the Gold Medal final the night before.

Following practice, we headed back to the village for lunch and a quick nap. After that it was off to Stan McGowan Arena for our second practice of the day. The stories I had been told about Stan McGowan (nicknamed the dungeon) did not live up their potential as it was not that bad at all, despite the fact that they will be tearing it down after the Games.

Following practice, it was back to the Village for supper and our first rest and relaxation.
