Claws Up: Rock Lobsters' home opener draws a crowd

Emma Auer
Athenians get into the crustacean nation spirit at the Akins Ford Arena before the Rock Lobster's home opener on Friday.

Thousands of hockey enthusiasts in Athens were left stunned when the Rock Lobsters hockey team postponed their first home game in early December after Akins Ford Arena was unable to obtain a certificate of occupation.

Representatives for the team and the event space said that the wait would be worth it. Last Friday, the arena hosted the Rock Lobster’s first game against the Mississippi Sea Wolves. WUGA’s Michael Allen brings us this report on the Rock Lobsters’ home opener.
