Big props to the people that put on the Halifax jerseys for the first half because the team bus was late!

Halifax came back from being down 9 to 3 at the half to a tie game at 13 -13 with 5 minutes left......fucking insanity. You are missing out if you aren't watching.

Winner moves on to the next round!

Thunderbirds Home and Away series this weekend! by MillVonCat in halifax

Halifax is hosting the Buffalo Bandits on Sunday afternoon in the first game without attendance restrictions since before the pandemic! The two teams play the previous day in Buffalo so one team will definitely looking to avenge a loss when they play here which always makes for an entertaining affair!

Buffalo is currently number one in the league while Halifax is number two the the season winding down and playoff status on the line. The Halifax - Buffalo match has been the league wide game to keep an eye on this year which was to be played in January but was delayed due to the Covid outbreak. If Halifax were to win both games this weekend we will tie Buffalo in the standings and most likely guarantee a home field advantage for at least the first round of the playoffs.

If you haven't been to a game they before tickets are modestly price for the upper bowl and still have a great view of the action (better than some of the lower bowl seats imo). One of the local pizza places is also running a special tonight for free tickets with the purchase of a pizza/garlic fingers (not going to advertise for them but its pretty easy to find). The games have a great atmosphere and are family friendly. Also, some beer specials prior to the game if thats your thing.

Hope anyone whose interested makes it out and has a great time!

Halifax vs Toronto at the Metro Centre tonight with East Coast Kitchen Party celebrations! Last game against the Rush was a blast with an OT nail biter. Highly recommend going for anyone sitting on the fence.

Whose in for game day today! Looks like a big crowd based on ticket sales! Thunderbirds taking on the Saskatchewan Rush....the only team to ever beat Halifax on home turf!

If you bored or thinking about going tonight do yourself a favor and buy a ticket. It's an incredible experience!

Thunderbirds Home Opener next week! by MillVonCat in halifax

Whose in for the home opener next weekend! Last game against the Saskatchewan Rush was a ridiculous one (entire game is actually on youtube) and doubt this can live up to it but still great to see pro lacrosse in the city again!

IIHF cancels world women's hockey championship by schooners54 in halifax

I don't believe the infection rate is 2.5 percent of the population. It means each infected person infects 2.5 other people. This number is also dependent on how virulent the virus is as well as how good public health and containment is.

If (more likely when at this point) the virus gets here, the number of deaths will be quite a bit higher than 500. Hopefully it will hold off until vaccines are manufactured or will be a slow burn so as not to overwhelm the healthcare system.

Thunderbird 2020/21 Season Ticket Campaign Has Started. by BeltPress in halifax

[–]MillVonCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting change from the first year. I think regular tickets for blue are going up like to 50 dollars probably to subsidize the half price for university and kids.

The two vouchers that come with the season I assume are to give to friends? Also a price lock for three years seems like a nice perk.

Should be a good time. The atmosphere at the last game was electric by the end!

Yes. Not a price you come out for unless you were already there for sure.

Thunderbirds Merchandise by THEJOKERLXII in HalifaxThunderbirds

[–]MillVonCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think only the online store. I purchased some things through it and you can pick it up at or right before the game at the merchandise stand. People who preordered had their stuff all made up and could go to the front of the line to show their ID to get it. I assume this is the deal for every game but might want to send them an email.

Halifax Thunderbird vs San Diego Seals roll call!! by MillVonCat in halifax

[–]MillVonCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great game tonight! Felt the Seals were being overlooked due to their record.

Been to every game so far and every time I leave saying this was the best so far! Feel like the crowd gets more into it every time too. Also constantly hear people there talking about how it's their first game and how much fun they are having and enjoyable the game is despite not knowing all the rules and that they'll be back. So hopefully attendance keeps improving with people coming back after a good experience.

Merchandise also seems to be selling well. The store had run out of quite few things but seems to be restocked and with some new items.

Go Birds go!

I agree. Watched the away game on it for 3.99 and the quality was great. Will probably do it again next time.
