‘Went to a hockey game and a wedding broke out’: couple ties the knot during Calgary Wranglers game
Global News
Flames Assistant General Manager Craig Conroy and Head Coach Darryl Sutter happened to be watching the game from the neighbouring suite and agreed to serve as witnesses.
It was February 14th, 2015.
The on-ice chemistry between young Calgary Flames stars Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan had fans cheering.
But in the Saddledome stands, another spark was turning into something more.
Vancouver Canucks fan Sarai Robles nervously proclaimed her love for Flames diehard Kyle Stang.
Whether Robles actually ever asked Stang to be her boyfriend is lost to time and memory, but the nerve-wracking step marked a new chapter in the couple’s lives.
The pair had been introduced through Kyle’s cousin, and began chatting and meeting for short visits, despite Sarai and her son, Dario, being based in Vancouver and Kyle and his daughter, Blaize, living in northeast Saskatchewan.
After eight years, one big move to Saskatchewan, an engagement and Sarai switching hockey allegiances, the family thought the Saddledome would be the perfect place to elope.
It just so happened the Flames’ and Canucks’ AHL teams would be playing each other on the anniversary of the big date.
