I was told to watch for an email this morning about a presale, but I haven’t gotten one and the link on the Fleet site for the presale goes to an empty page for me. Anybody managed to get in yet? If it’s just me I’ll figure it out on my end.
UPDATE 12:30 Oct 2nd: The ticketing manager got back to me, the Flex Packs are delayed due to issues with Ticketmaster. See screenshot in comments.
UPDATE 7:00 Oct 3rd: The presale is working! There was confusing math to do — each pack has to be at least 3 games and no more than 8 total tickets with the same number of tickets for each game, but you can purchase multiple packs to get however many seats you actually need. Go forth!

Hey all! Looking for recommendations for a project at our house. We have a porch that is mostly enclosed by windows, but at the top of the stairs up to the porch is an open archway; we want to close up this gap and add a door for folks to come into the porch so it's usable during inclement weather and to reduce how often birds get stuck on the porch. We know we're probably looking at general contractors but aren't sure who we should talk to for this. If it matters, we want to enclose it using more windows, not solid wood/brick/etc.

We're looking for a track (as in the kind used for track and field) that somebody could run drills on without having to be a student at a school. We can pay a little bit but not really a full gym membership. We've heard Brown University suggested, also India Point Park, but we'd love to hear more ideas or have those confirmed!

My family and I got to attend our first Fleet game on Saturday and I just wanted to take a second to say thank you for such an awesome experience!

I have never felt so at home in a fanbase as I did on Saturday -- as a queer hockey fan, the MNHL even back in California could be a lot, and as a neurodivergent fan with anxiety the negativity was a real problem. Instead I saw a bunch of smiling, welcoming people who were happy to answer your questions and were making a point of complimenting each other's outfits. I even had somebody in line excited to see whose jersey I chose -- they called the number unfolding down my back "the unveiling." (I went with Keller -- I've never had a captain's jersey for any team before and her appearance on SNL endeared me as much as my love for puck-moving defenders.)

The game itself was also the most relaxing hockey game I've ever been to, and that's *with* the Fleet's struggles early! You could really tell people were mostly there to see their team play and that a win was just a (big, delicious) cherry on top; that roiling tension you get at MNHL games sometimes just wasn't in evidence. I have never been in a crowd so excited about a defensive play or a pretty breakout. The way little kids were being encouraged to participate and feel welcome was so cool, as was the variety of jerseys in attendance -- as a San Jose Sharks fan, I want to find whoever wore the Logan Couture jersey and give them a California-transplant handshake. My whole section helped talk each other through the game whenever somebody wasn't sure what just happened (the handpass in the third was especially confusing from where we were), and while I *did* end up in front of someone who kept saying "just shoot it" but that's just life as a hockey fan, and at least it was one person saying it in a conversational tone and not a whole section bellowing like there was no way the players had thought of it. And getting to clap along to "The Wellerman" at a game was a unique experience I will not be forgetting!

So thank you again -- I was already on the Crew for life, but now I'm I'm definitely going to be back as soon as I can and watching on NESN until then!
