Palin To Drop Puck At Flyers Home Opener PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, the nation's most popular hockey mom, will take center ice opening night as the Flyers host the New York Rangers to kick off their 2008/2009 season.
On Saturday, October 11, Palin will drop the puck along with the winner of the Philadelphia Flyers regional search for the "Ultimate Hockey Mom" yet to be announced.
"Because of the tremendous amount of publicity she has brought to our sport, we invited the most popular hockey mom in North America to our home opener to help us get our season started," said Comcast-Spectacor Chairman Ed Snider who founded the Flyers in 1967. "We are very excited she has accepted our offer and we are very proud of the publicity she is generating for hockey moms and the sport of hockey."
The Philadelphia Flyers organization has been searching for the "Ultimate Hockey Mom" in an online contest which asked hockey players and hockey moms to enter the contest by submitting a "hockey mom poster."
The winner of the contest will join the Alaska Governor at center ice to drop the ceremonial puck and will also receive $500 gift certificates to David J. Witchell Salon and Spa and to the Wachovia Center's Fan Gear store.

Ha haaaaa! I love it.
I’ll bet anyone real money that this ends up being cancelled beforehand due to Democrat pressure.
Bank on it.
This is how McCain takes PA. Palin goes to a flyers game, sees the Steelers play, and checks out a “Nitaly” lions game.
Say good bye to PA Obama.
Game on!
Isn't the puck Black?
No Black guys in hockey!
Slap Black Puck with sticks all night!
Throw in a Penguin’s game too.
So, Sarah is gonna drop the little black thing. Is that racist?
If they don't ask Obama to drop a puck, is that racist?
Wait for it.
I can recall back in the 70’s, the Flyers would play Kate Smith’s “God Bless America”, and the fans would go nuts, the team would get pumped, and they’d have a winning streak.
Can “Hockey Mom Fever” be far away?
As a die-hard WINGS fan, I will the request the McPalin Campaign to solicit a puck drop at the Joe. Afterall, they won that cup thing in June.
ROFL @ Nitaly Lions.
hahahahaha
Every time that I hear that I laugh for a good couple of minutes.
Great, here come the racist criers now.
Flyers owner Ed Snider is not exactly a conservative; more like a Rand objectivist/libertarian.
I admire him for being one of the very few sports franchise owners who built his arena with all private funds.
The Bubba factor!
Actually one of the best players in the game is black, Jarome Iginla, the captain of the Calgary Flames.
Hah hah, I just love this idea.
