Stanley Cup Champions Parade and Rally

Leave a comment
So I am on a high… a hockey high. Not only did the LA Kings win the Stanley Cup, Shaun and I were able to attend the Championship parade and rally today! I was supposed to be a surprise to me, but once again… I ruined it. Neither of us were able to obtain our free tickets when they became available to the general public so in my desperation I started asking anyone and everyone. To my surprise, my friend Hilary had two spare tickets and I started orchestrating how I would get them. Shaun finally had to call me and fess up to the surprise before I compromised someones tickets! Needless to say, Shaun used his powers and we were able to get tickets.
Loving it, although I think it needs to be changed now so that is says Stanley Cup Champions!

All of the rally ticket holders gathered inside LA Live Plaza. I didn’t have a chance at seeing the players but I was still excited! Then again over 200,000 people attended the parade so I am sure a lot of people couldn’t see what was going on. It was still exciting and you could feel all of the amazing excitement and energy.

The first players bus turned into the plaza… I only knew because people were cheering really loud and trying to take pictures.

And then next thing I knew… it was raining streamers and confetti!

Despite not being able to see the players, I could hear Matt Greene giving a nice speech and thank you to all of the fans. You are so very welcome Matt Greene! And Thank You for helping the Kings get that beautiful cup!

AEG is going to have to do a bit of house cleaning to make room for a few new banners. I really really want to be at the first home game of the season to see them raise the banners. I don’t know how but I will get those tickets!

Our view from the premier section… watching the game 6 on the big screen, waiting for the players to come out.

All of the players, coaches, trainers, Luc Robataille, the Conn Smythe trophy and the Stanley Cup. Boy its so sparkly!

After today I am on a huge high and I am not sure I will be able to come down until maybe the season begins in October. Even then I am sure I will still be dancing in the clouds. And to make it even better, I was in the same building as the Stanley Cup. Oh it was so pretty!
