    My Hockey cherry was finaly popped.....and I loved it

    I went to my first Hockey game tonight. Minor League, The Huntsville Havoc v/s The Knoxville Icebears.......The home team Havoc lost a 3-3 shoot-out. But watching hockey live is AWESOME, a million times better than watching on T.V. I could actualy follow the puck, and the action was non-stop. Now dont get me wrong, college football will be far and away my favorite sport to watch live. But now I know next year I will travel somewhere in the U.S or Canada to see a Pro hockey game live.

    Anyone who has never seen Hockey live, and calls themselves a sports fan is missing out.

    Watching live, no other sport compares. The only thing better is watching an NHL playoff game in person.

    not a big fan of hockey, but i was dragged to a caps game about a year ago and i absolutely loved it.

    atmopshere is great, much better then an nba game (been to plenty) and the fans are raucous, not belligerent but a respectfully raucuos crowd that was into the game from start to finish.

    only complaint was the music, not a big fan of metal.

    It's a completely different level of enjoyment seeing hockey live and in person compared to seeing it on TV.

    Live is definitely great, never was a huge fan until I went to a Rangers game. It's crazy how much more exciting it is live, one of my favorite experiences at a sporting event.

    hockey is the most underrated game. reason why it's not big in u.s. is because it's not an american game. if it was, it'd be bigger than football. it has all the great things you love in sports. it's rough.. there's fighting, it's fast, it's hard hitting, exciting fast non stop action.. all the stuff the NFL has, plus the fighting. and who in the U.S doesn't like hard hitting and fighting in sports. hockey has all this.. but it's canadian and that is where the problem is.

    if only it was an american sport.

    i recently got into hockey this season after going to a college game. i am currently following the blackhawks on tv, the prices for tickets to see them are ridiculously priced in my opinion

    If you come to Canada, come to Montreal and if you find tickets go to a game Habs vs. Bruins or Sens or ... Toronto ...

    Best games ever to watch live
