When The Hives entered the Commodore Ballroom, everyone in the room collectively turned their heads.

Keep in mind, this wasn’t at the show. The Hives were not bursting on stage. It wasn’t a room full of autograph-hungry fans. This was at three in the afternoon and the only people in the empty club were the barstaff, press and the stage crew.

Normally only the press would be excited to see the band show up. “Yah! We get to do the interview!” But every single person stopped and turned their heads. Each of them was carrying an armful of 5-10 signed hockey sticks.

The Hives had just returned from a skate with our Vancouver Canucks.

Strangely enough, none of them would talk about skating with the Sedin twins. Apparently, what happens in the rink, stays in the rink.

CHeck out The Hives this summer…
