RE: Hosers Rejoice - Hockey is back!
When i lived in Chicago I used to love going to Blackhawk games because the tickets while still expensive, were far more affordable than say basketball - which was played in the same arena. In Raleigh, North Carolina, Hurricane tickets could be acquired for $20 or so in the top levels and then since attendance was so poor we would just move closer... security didn't seem to mind / notice.
However, just like baseball, i really don't like watching this sport on TV - it just can't hold my interest mostly because I can't tell where the puck is half the time.
Remember when they briefly introduced those light-up pucks? That had a really short run.... did they ever re-introduce it after working out the bugs?
Haha yes! I think it was the birthright of every Canadian to complain about that neon puck. That did not last very long and is reviled like the New Coke era.
I think you really develop an appreciation for it when you play the game yourself, and are raised following a team. Otherwise, it is a great game to watch live.
I guess it is in my blood. A little Skatey-Punchy is good for you!
it's hard to dislike a sport where fighting is built-in. Are there any other sports where you can get into a punch up, and as long as you don't cheat, all you gotta do is sit in the penalty box for 5 minutes or whatever.
MMA..
I lived in Chicagoland for a bit.. I used to go watch the Chicago Wolves.. tickets were like $7
i don't even know who the Wolves are! That must have been not in the time i lived there. To be fair I only lived there for about 2 years and it was around 17 years ago
Minor league hockey
