PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Sarah Palin’s next faceoff will come at center ice at an NHL arena, not at a debate.

The GOP vice presidential nominee will drop the ceremonial first puck when the Philadelphia Flyers open the regular season against the New York Rangers on Saturday. Palin, the Alaska governor and self-described “hockey mom,” will join the winner of a team promotion for the “Ultimate Hockey Mom” to drop the puck.

Last month, Palin visited a Philadelphia bar with Flyers owner Ed Snider, who has donated money to Republican presidential nominee John McCain’s campaign.

“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,” Snider said in a team statement Wednesday. “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 team will award all hockey moms entered into the contest with a free “puck-er peach” lipstick and four tickets to a hockey game of the Flyers’ minor league affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms. The winner will appear on the ice with Palin for opening faceoff.
 
Now this is over the line for me!

I am an avid hockey fan and a lifelong Flyers fan. I was all excited for the season opener and then I read this fucking shit! I can't even get away from politics if I want to. This pisses me the fuck off!

She can expect a lot of boos and probably some angry drunk throwing something at her. This is Philly after all. I am furious about this as I have been a Flyers fan my whole life and I was looking forward to something I could invest my time into that isn't about politics.

This fucking sucks! :mad:

I'm just really upset about this because I have been looking forward to hockey season as I need other things to direct my attention towards away from what is going on. Now the one thing I was looking forward to is ruined by this fucking nonsense. I now will not go to any Flyers games this year and I have already e-mailed the organization with my disgust over the matter. They have no business doing this!
