Buy a SUV or station wagon for hockey events.

FIRST of all, even if they would fit, you WILL get your Viper keyed on the parking lot. Just one of those things you'll hve to live with. NEVER park your Viper so you cannot see it or you will pay for it.

I have found 1 litre Coke jars thrown in my car, half eaten hamburgers, long time ago someone (drunk) wanted to *** in my Vette. Save yourself a headacke and get a regular car for driving around and mall parking lots and a Viper for weekends.

I was just hoping you were Milan Hejduk. :)

Good call on the CTD.
Plus, when it rains hard you can use it to pull clowns out of the 'pond' that forms on I-25 at Evans and score some extra beer money.
:D

I can put my bag in the back of my GTS. And the sticks go in the passenger seat area. Never had a issue at the rinks just park in front and you won't have a problem

Trevor Linden owned a Viper. Don't think he took it for hockey though. He used the Bus and planes like everybody else.

Teemu Selanne has a 96 GTS and does drive it to the rink. But being a pro, he doesn't have to carry his stuff.
Paul Kariya drove it for a couple of weeks and said it hurt his leg to push in the clutch. :rolaugh:

Heh heh...true.
Though, after the last few years of Zherdev....Milan is an English Professor at DU.
:D

I'm curious how you know that stuff about Teemu and Paul.
Great players. Too bad about the clutch thing. Maybe he needs flappy paddles. :)

Damn, you must live in a tough town. Where I life, we don't worry about it. The wife's even taken the car grocery shopping, to wally world, etc. So far so good. No real worries here.

Oh and we play hockey in the summer even this far north. Thank god for indoor arenas.

BTW, I hear in Canada they only use ****** positions that allow both to watch the hockey game. :lmao:

My bag fits perfectly in my GTS. Sticks in the front like has already been said. I would bet goalie gear wouldn't fit though.

Go Wings! :blackeye:

I heard a rumor that Martin Brodeur rolled in a Kenworth with a 53' trailer to the arena; his gear in the front and his ego in the back.
:D :D

I figured you might ask.
Soon after we (the Avs) signed both of them, the local TV station that shows all of the Avalanche games did a show with Danny Hinote interviewiing Teemu and Paul. The whole interview was the three guys making jokes, but the one thing that stood out for me was Teemu's story about the Viper. Paul needed to borrow a car for a week so he asked Teemu (a car collector) if he could borrow one. As you know, he got the GTS. Teemu said he got a call a couple of days later from Paul wanting to switch cars because the Viper made him tired. He didn't like getting in and out of it, or shifting. (I was wrong about the sore leg thing) :lmao: Everyone had a good laugh (except for Paul).

Here's the interview...
