I don’t know why this makes me chuckle, but it does. In the midst of the playoff season, the Anaheim Ducks have let it be known that Alberta is the preferred travel destination of the Anaheim Ducks! No word yet, but I can’t imagine the sponsorship has led to a huge uptick in tourism from southern California to Red Deer. That said, there has to be another reason.
First off, the Ducks won both games in Edmonton this year, but lost both games in Calgary. Alberta is the preferred destination, not just Edmonton. Perhaps its because there are a great deal of Albertans on the roster? My perusal says that you have Kyle Chipchura, Joffrey “Jeffrey” Lupul (but he shouln’t count because he’s from Fort Saskatchewan) and Scott Niedermeyer. Forgive me, but I don’t see Saku Koivu wanting to spend his offseason in Akberta when he has beautiful Turku to return to.
The only thing I can think is that this is an advertisement for ACTUAL ducks. After all, they are migratory creatures, and I have to imagine they DO like Alberta. Of course, this makes me wonder how the ducks are accessing the internet. What kind of a world do we live in when the birds are online?
If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be hiding undeground.
