A few tips to watching a hockey game alive!
I have been to a hockey game once or twice in my life, ok that number could be close to a 1000. I have noticed a few things some fans do that irate me and others. These are just a few friendly tips for someone who doesn’t have as much experience as others at live games, it will make everyone’s viewing experience a whole lot more enjoyable.
- Do not get up while the game is being played, wait for a whistle, that goes for returning to you seats to. Trust me there are enough whistles during the game that you have time to get up. Plus what is more important popcorn or hockey, like anyone would have to ask me.
- When the anthem is being played, SHUT UP!! Nothing irates me more then when someone is talking during the anthem, don’t care if it’s the American or Canadian anthem, any anthem deserves respect. Also if you are wearing a hat take it off. If you don’t it should be legal for someone to knock it off your head.
- If you know nothing about hockey, don’t pretend you do and yell stupid things. I encourage people who don’t know anything about hockey to go to a game live, it will hook you. But don’t yell stupid stuff. Like hit someone every 5 seconds. Had some guy yell that the other night at a UNH game, UNH would be carrying the puck into the offensive zone he would yell “hit someone” over and over. Someone should have hit him.
- When someone gets hurt, don’t cheer, and when the hurt person does get up you applaud, it doesn’t matter if the player is from the other team. How would you like it if you got hurt at work and people started to cheer. No wait that depends on the person, it might be funny. I am sure I would cheer if some people at work got hurt, but then again I am just mean.
- All referees SUCK. It doesn’t matter what level you are watching, and what team you root for. Sometime during the game you will think the referee is out to get your team. It is part of the game, it might not be true but you will feel this way. Well it is true for UNH, all Hockey East refs are out to get them!
- Enjoy the game, and cheer for your team. Be part of the fun. But don’t be stupid and swear at the team, first of all your one voice out of thousands, they will not get your one vulgarity, plus there are kids at the game try to act like an adult.
These are a few things I think would make everyone’s viewing of the game more enjoyable. Would highly recommend if you have never been to a game live, go!! I have heard from many people that they can not watch a game on TV, well nothing beats the live excperince!!!
