I
love sporting events! There is something about the exciting energy in the air
among spectators that is intoxicating. Hockey, by far as the highest intensity.
I Grew up loving hockey. It was the only North American team sport my dad
watched. To this day I've never been to an NFL game. With hockey you get
the raw masculine roman warrior like atmosphere. Hitting someone at full speed
into an outer board is not only a legal move but a part of the game. The
warriors move faster than anyone else as they skate on the challenge element of
ice while simultaneously passing an object the size of my hand between them.
Basketball uses hands, soccer kicks up the challenge using feet and
hockey goes crazy and uses only a stick. AND they are on a real time crunch
to get things done. This sport is nothing short of well valued
entertainment.
As a
gal who likes sports, but does not breath them every day, I will still always go
to a hockey game. I especially enjoy rooting for my home team the Phoenix Coyotes. As a newer team without a stanly cup in their name, the
have something to prove. The hunger for a win is there. They have been
literally fighting for their livelihood as the were without an owner for a few
years. Now that the dust of being purchased and their fate is finally set in
Arizona they can truly focus on the task at hand... Winning a stanly cup.
Do
yourself a favor and go see a coyotes game. They play fast and strong. The fans
love to howl. And most of all there is a ton of action on the ice. If you want
to splurge sit center ice by the rink. If you're lucky a coyote may check
someone into the boards by your seat.
There is nothing like a great goal. Check out this AMAZING show by Coyotes' goalie Mike Smith!
