Once we arrived, we went downstairs near the ice, where characters were changing into costume, and R2 was invited to pose with the game puck near the ice.
Soon this ice will be busy with hockey mayhem.
R2 found a friend (about) his own size.
Once the characters had finished changing into costume, it was on up to the concourse, where we greeted arriving fans.
R2 also visited with a few of the Power Players, who clean up the ice during the game.
At 6:45 we made an appearance on the pregame show. The director had me drive R2 back and forth across the stage, and then I parked R2.
Once we were done with that, R2 and several other characters went straight to interviews for a future episode of Ducks Weekly.
And of course, more pictures with the fans.
Once the game got started, it was time to stow R2 and take in some of the game. I parked him in his usual spot, along side the office Christmas tree for photo ops, while we watched the game.
We had outstanding seats, 5 rows from the glass!
As the second period ended, it was time to go fetch R2 for the 3rd period Dance Cam. While we were waiting to go on, Ducks forward Ondrej Kase scored his third goal to tie the game up 3-3, and achieve his first career hat trick. And there were plenty of hats to be gathered afterward.
A little while later, there was a break in the action, and the Dance Cam went live on the scoreboard. R2 and the other Star Wars characters were featured.
After that, one more quick trip down to the ice to collect my toolbox (and get another pic with the Power Players).
A last picture with the staff, and that's a wrap!
The Ducks poured it on in the third period, and won 6-3. R2's record with the Ducks is now 3-1.
I really enjoy doing the Ducks games, the fans are well behaved and the staff treats us very well. I look forward to coming back!
The full photoset is here.
