I can’t believe there’s less than a week until it’s time to head to Melbourne for #AIHLFinals.

With how much effort I’ve put in for all Sydney Bears home games this year, it kinda feels surreal and I have a real panic that I have a tonne of things to do and haven’t even started.

But they’re not home games so I’m purely there as a fan, not as staff. I have nothing to do except get my arse there and enjoy.

The #AIHL #AIHLFinals play-in match on the TV, just put #FIFAWWC #Matildas on my old iPad.

Sorry Tilly’s, you’re great and all but it’s still soccer. Ice Hockey gets the big screen.

I love that so many people aren't even aware that there's a top level Ice Hockey league in Australia, yet the cup we give out has been getting awarded since 1909 and even has plaques for years skipped due to the world wars. #AIHL #AIHLFinals #NHL

Adelaide Adrenaline beat the Melbourne Mustangs, which locks my Sydney Bears in to the top of Hellyer Conference! No play-in match next weekend, we’re going straight to the finals in Melbourne on the 26/27th! #AIHL #AIHLFinals

Annual Leave for #AIHLFinals: Booked.
Tickets for #AIHLFinals: Booked.
Accommodation for #AIHLFinals: Booked.

Now I just need to organise my indirect return trip.

False start on #AIHLFinals tickets. The bay we want we thought was going on sale tonight. Turns out it’ll go on sale in 2-3 weeks.

But we’re organising Sydney Bears fans now for when the bay we want does go on sale. I’m getting excited for finals. #AIHL #sportsball
