I will be,"The Season Ticket Game", on Thursday,October. 2011. Since I found out about this it has gotten me thinking about the Canuck's players and fans who have gone before.
In the 1974-1975 the W.H.A. Came to Vancouver, in the form of a team called the Vancouver Blazers. At that time there was a waiting list to get season tickets for the Canucks. So, my parents decided to get Season tickets for the blazers. That year was the first year the Canucks won any thing. They won their division and, with that, chased the Blazers out of town.
The following year, the 1975 -1976 season my parents and I got season tickets with the Canucks. For the next four years we three, came out to every game together until 1980,when on October 24,1980 my father past away of cancer.
Then there was just us two,my mother and me. the number of games we missed over the next several years you could count on one hand and have fingers left over.
We were there through both the 1980 and 1994 cup runs. This past year was not a good one for my mother. She had several health scares and spent from before Christmas last year until early mid January in the hospital,getting out for one day only to go back in. She began to improve and was getting ready to come home when on March Th, 2011 she had a massive stroke. She fought very hard but, passed away on March. 2011. Although she was very sick during the last year of her life my mothers face would still light up when talking about the Canucks.
Now we are one, So when I go to the game on Thursday night I will be thinking of those who have gone before. players like: Barry Wilkins, Gary Lapel and Rick Ripen, and fans like Morris and Pearce and my mother and father who were there in 1976 when I first became a season ticket holder.
I know they will all be looking down on me with a smile chanting, "Go Conics Go!"
