When MUCH younger used to go to NHL games all the time. Friends Dad operated the big score thing hanging from ceiling. He got us tickets so we entered from underneath. Always enjoyed especially when we played the Blackhawks. They were so rough you were guaranteed fights and blood on the ice. It is my understanding hockey is much more mild now.
Haven't been to NHL in probably 20 years or so. Our team left for a second time. We have minor not far from us that DS goes to every so often. Currently lots of rumblings we could get another NHL team, a solid sports group is fighting for one and they'd play within minutes of our house. If it works, we'll be going again.
