+crosschk Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I want to release a bug into the world with a mission of going to every hockey areana in the NHL. Maybe have a beer and hotdog (little ones ) Is this too much to ask? Should I stick with more cache realated activities? As you can see, I am very much a newbie to Geocaching, so any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
+bkirby99 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 i don't see where there would be anything wrong with that... in fact, i know of a couple of TB races that involve participating TBs visit MLB and NFL stadiums. Quote Link to comment
+Spencersb Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I'm a big hockey fan, I'd thought about doing this myself. If it came near me, I'd sure help it out! Quote Link to comment
+crosschk Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 If hockey is played again this year , I may release after taking it to a game myself. Maybe keep it in a baggie and ask people to put the ticket stub or a copy of the ticket in the bag with it Quote Link to comment
+Nero Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 awesome bug idea! i love hockey myself also. however we have no NHL arenas here in San Diego, so i could only take it to an ECHL game and see the San Diego Gulls. Quote Link to comment
+crosschk Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 (edited) I could open it up to All Hockey arena's in North America. Then, I'll never see it again, but it will be doing what I always wanted. Edited August 9, 2004 by crosschk Quote Link to comment
+Eric K Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Sounds like a good idea to me. Here is a Travelbug I got to help move along. It's goals are to visit baseball stadiums and have it's picture taken there. Smiling Ichiro Quote Link to comment
+VegasCacheHounds Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hey, if it makes it to Las Vegas I'll take it to a Wranglers game! Shannon Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I think it's a cool idea. I'm still waiting for the Margaritta bug to make it to Warner Robins Zack Quote Link to comment
+bigredmed Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Include the NCAA Hockey (we are in the CCHA) and you could get it around the country even if the NHL shuts down. Quote Link to comment
+crosschk Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 Thanx everyone. When would be a good time to release? Or does that really matter? Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I could open it up to All Hockey arena's in North America. Then, I'll never see it again, but it will be doing what I always wanted. It doesn't matter what the goal is, you'll proably never see it again. Don't limit it to one continent. Quote Link to comment
+crosschk Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 good point Quote Link to comment
+Nero Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 good time to release? how about in october when hockey season starts again! Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 It's a fine idea, but don't be disappointed if your bug goes to a bunch of caches that have nothing to do with hockey. Not every area has a hockey arena. But then again, Jamaica had a bobsled team so maybe there are hockey rinks in the Florida Keys or Hawaii, or Fiji. Quote Link to comment
+Spencersb Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Thanx everyone. When would be a good time to release? Or does that really matter? How about NOW!! RIGHT NOW!!!! I'M COMING TO GET IT, I SWEAR! GO CACHING!! GET OFF YOUR...uh... ahem...sorry. Seriously, be prepared for it to sit in some caches for extended periods, so unless you plan to tip someone local off, it may be October before it moves anyway. And open it up to all hockey, if you limit it to NHL, well, IMO that ain't happening, not this year at least. You may get a few pictures of the OUTSIDE of NHL arenas, but no money shots!

+crosschk Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 I was thinking of putting up a Bug Hotel and starting it off with this one as well as a few others I have. ( I have not made plans for the others yet) I'm still scoping out a place by a major Hwy. This will be right in the middle of Long Island, so it should be a good place. I still have to see if there is another one near by so I dont double the effort. I most likely will open it up to all Hockey games, I may bring it to one of my Dek Hockey games before I release it Quote Link to comment
+fortworthbret Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Gordie Hanson One of my bugs is doing almost exactly the same thing. I think its a great idea. Send it out ASAP. It can start its travels now and be ready for the minors soon (and NHL come January when they actually start the season). Cool thing about mine, I was opn my way caching when the idea hit me to find a bubble hockey player for a bug, and found that guy on my second cache of the day. -b Quote Link to comment
+Hiking Cockroachess Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I LOVE this idea! If it came anywhere near me, I could make sure it got to both a Sabres game and a Maple Leafs game. Quote Link to comment
+GentleWhisper Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 (edited) On Topic: cool idea for a bug. Go for it. Slightly Off Topic: Nevermind... I googled and searched ESPN... Edited August 13, 2004 by GentleWhisper Quote Link to comment
