Who isn’t a hockey fan after watching the US Olympic team go into overtime against Canada. Not exactly the outcome we were looking for, but I’m sure it’s inspired more than a few kids to strap on skates, rollerblades, or just a pair of socks in the hallway.

If you’d like to see some real hockey action with the kids, your in luck. The Atlanta Thrashers have two more Kid’s Days this season (kids under 12 are free with a paying adult). One is on Sunday, March 7 and the other is March 14. The games are a kid friendly 5 pm.

If you’ve got a birthday coming up, you can get a free ticket to a game through the Thrasher’s Birthday Club. Check out the Atlanta Thrashers site for other discounts.

    Thanks to Jenn for this tidbit. Atlanta Thrashers practice sessions are free and open to the public. For school age fans, the times probably don’t mesh with your schedule, but for young fans, what a great opportunity to see your favorite hockey players up close.

    For those of you that can’t make the practice sessions, you can still get good deals on tickets. This Thursday, Jan. 21, 2010 is Thrashers Thursday. All tickets in the 300 level are $15. The game is against the Hurricanes. Coming up in March are Thrashers Kid’s Days where children under 12 get in free with a paying adult

    I always love to see who’s in the studio when I do the Better Mornings Atlanta segments. This morning they had Sean, a professional bull rider from Summerville, Ga. who is in town for the Professional Bull Rider’s championship at the Gwinnett Civic Center. Tickets start at $10, so if you have a hankerin for some bull, it’s very affordable.

    Also in studio was the biggest cat I’ve ever seen, a siamese and a hairless sphinx from this weekend’s Cat Fanciers cat show at the Georgia International Convention Center. The sphinx was surprisingly soft, but it’s definitely a face only a mother would love. There’s just something strange about a cat with no fur.

    And of course, there was the world famous Field Trips with Sue segment where I talked about the following:

    Thrashers Kids Day
    Georgia Tech Observatory Public Night
    Bass Pro Shops Santa’s Wonderland
    Georgia Aquarium’s Princess Weekend
    High Museum of Art’s Go All Night
    AMC’s A.M. Cinema

    We also mentioned our current contest for passes to the Centennial Olympic Park Skating Rink and our upcoming chance to win tickets to see the Georgia Ballet’s Nutcracker.

    When: Thrashers Kids Day Nov. 22, Mar. 7 & 14
    Free Tickets for Your Birthday
    Cost: FREE with some restrictions

    My kids did the Atlanta Spirit’s Check it Out Reading program this summer and earned FREE Thrashers tickets. Unfortunately, the tickets were for last Sunday and we had too many things going on. I’m sure the boys will ask about the game because they look forward to going each year and so do I. I like hockey. Thank goodness I found these other great deals.

    This Sunday is Thrashers Kids Day which means children under 12 are free with a paying adult. Monday was my oldest’s birthday and #2’s is in December. Thanks to the Thrasher’s Birthday Club, my boys can get a free ticket during their birthday month. If you’re birthday falls during the summer, no worries, you can still choose any game in October or November. Check out the Atlanta Thrashers site for other discounts.
