From the Gridiron to the Ice Rink
Manning was in Utica to watch his daughter play hockey at the Nexus Center.
Even though he was there for some family time, he was kind enough to stop and take photos with fans.
I'm guessing he was hoping to spend more time watching the game than posing for pictures, so it's nice that he took a few minutes to make their day.
Took in a Comets Game
While in town, Manning, his daughter, and the entire New Jersey Devils Youth 12U team also took in a Utica Comets game, with everyone receiving Comets jerseys.
Unfortunately, the Comets were handed their first loss of the season, getting shut out 4-0.
