Last Friday I went to my first hockey game. It was just Washington league not NHL or anything. They were having a contest there for a Subaru WRX and $10,000. The way the contest worked is you would buy these orange pucks for $5 a piece and try to throw them into the sun roof of a car that they would drive into the rink between first and second period. I didn't buy any pucks but a lot of people did, there must have been a thousand or more pucks on the ice. Who ever got their puck in the sun roof would get put into a raffle for a key. If you won a key you could try and open the trunk of the car between second and third period. If your key opened the trunk, you'd be the winner. I guess they had been doing this contest all season and lots of people had already won keys. They went for about ten minutes of people trying keys. Finally on like the twenty second key a guy won and balloons popped out of the trunk music played and people cheered. They drove the car off the ice the guy took his check and we went back to watching the game. One of the teams called a time out about four minutes into the third period. The announcer came and out and said "I've got something I think you guys might want to know." He was standing there with the guy who won the cash and car "Immediately after Mr. Guywhowon won his $10,000 check he signed it over to a animal rescue shelter." We gave the guy a round of a applause and went back to watching the game.

I just thought this was an awesome thing to do and thought I would share it with you people here. People like this really inspire me in so many ways.
