GDI Convention, Day 2--RMs Go Country

The RMs met at Dallas's Asian fusion restaurant, Bengal Coast

After a day spent at GDI Headquarters and on ice, the RMs made progress in developing key new techniques that will be debuted at this summer’s camps. They even tested out a new puck-shooting machine, which was crafted by GDI Scandinavia’s Torleif Lundsten.

A long day of business left the RMs hungry and in need of entertainment, so after having dinner at Bengal Coast, the group headed out to Dallas’s country dance saloon, Cowboys Red River. Several RMs were spotted two-stepping around Cowboys’ circular, race-track style dance floor. Other brave souls tried their luck at the mechanical bull:

RM Torleif Lundsten of GDI Scandinavia stayed on for an impressive 35 seconds... then crumbled to the ground

As anyone in the hockey world knows, everything is a competition, and this was no different. RMs competed to see who could flail around on the bull longest… and there are whispers that Torlief won the competition (prize is yet to be determined).

The convention continues today at GDI Headquarters, where gear and apparel will be among the topics of conversation.
