Both of us are a hockey family through and through! I couldn’t imagine living in a moderate section and trying to care about hockey.
I know that Tampa typically wins the cup however those people aren’t certainly the same level of fans that Chicago, Elgin and Glenview are.
In our opinion going to a hockey game in shorts is cheating… You can’t tailgate and need sunscreen. You can’t care about a hockey game in the heat. I care about our Glenview home, however both of us have cold weather and access to a lot of hockey rinks, however my women both play on two teams, then they have a local team and a travel hockey team. My hubby coaches each of them on a single of their teams. Both of us then go see professional games during playoff season, and since all of us live close to Chicago, the Chicago Blackhawks are our team. They aren’t actually good, honestly. They hardly ever make the playoffs and if they do, they don’t go far. But it is fun seeing the games and rooting for our hometeam. Both of us each have jerseys with our favorite players’ names on the back. Both of us also make a day of it when all of us see the game. The rink is only an minute away however all of us make sure to get supper, hang out before the game and linger around afterwards. Sometimes all of us will get a hotel and make a night of it. The adolescents just care about when it is hockey season. The cold weather of our section certainly makes it better in our opinion. You can get more into the hockey spirit when you are all bundled up.
