New York Islanders

                                  

I will be going to a New York Islanders game with my friend. The Islanders are a hockey team from Long Island. At the hockey game, I will sit in section 211 in the arena. When I get to the arena, I'm going to get cotton candy, a hot dog, and a drink for lunch. My friend and I will cheer on the Islanders to win the game. When the Islanders score a goal, we are going to cheer and scream with happiness. During the game, we will sing along to the songs played to excite the crowd. To get home from the arena, we are going to use the train. I am very excited to cheer on my team.
