As for pro-shops, there is Hockey Services in K-Zoo and a different Perani's in Lansing - both 40 min. / 1 hr. away. We have Play It Again, who generally doesn't have much, and I believe I heard about a new place in Holland that is Hockey & Lacrosse, but I'll have to ck. into that. Tragically, it's Tulip Festival in Holland this weekend (& on & on) so going there could be less than enjoyable.
But if you get me Johnny Lang tickets, I'll take you anywhere
If you don't mind waiting a little bit, I can come down 44th and pick you up about 5:30pm or so. I'll see what I can do about sooner.
I was going to see about using the meeting room of the hotel to have a pizza / wings meet-n-greet Fri. night.
There are some places to grab lunch near the rink, but noon on Sat. on 28th St. is a zoo. I promise I shop smarter than the inadvertant shortage at ROC. And I wanted to be sure nothing was too greasy or heavy (no tossing cookies during dryland). But whoever wants to throw in can, and if not, no big.
We have a small-town mind but we're actually a fairly big city, so if you want it, I can probably find it.
BTW - the "club" next to Uccello's is closed "gentlemen"
