Hockey is a much-loved and celebrated sport in many parts of
the country. It provides countless opportunities for growth, friendship, and
fun for kids of all ages and from all over the world. But, what exactly, is the
appeal of hockey?
Maybe, for you, it’s the fact that it can be played no
matter what the weather is like outside, or maybe it’s the excitement of power plays and skates slicing over ice. Really, there are a multitude of reasons to
love hockey, and if you ask any person why he loves it, you’ll likely get a
different answer each time. However, we’ve compiled our top reasons to love
hockey here, and we hope you’ll share some of your own!
Reason #1: It’s Unique
Most sports share similarities, and while hockey isn’t
completely unique, it is probably one of the most unique sports out there. What
other sports get played on ice? What other sports are so fast-paced and
riveting? Hockey isn’t as bland as your average basketball or baseball game;
it’s exciting in every second, and that’s a pretty good reason to love it!
Reason #2: Fanatic Fans
In any sport, you’ll find truly devoted fans, but there are
few fans quite as devoted as hockey fans. These are the ones who scream from
the stands, who stomp their feet and yell when a play doesn’t go as planned,
and who wear their team’s garb year round. While the fans can sometimes be a
bit too much, there’s no denying that the excitement and passion for the game
is definitely there, making this sport super enthralling.
Reason #3: That Horn Sound
Yet another thing that makes hockey special and exciting is
the fact that each goal is commemorated with the loud, exciting sound of a
horn. That noise has the power to inspire excitement in the hearts of fans in
the stand, and it really is just the icing on the cake after a great goal.
Reason #4: Online Presence
A hockey game is never truly over just because the last goal
has happened. No, hockey enjoys a fruitful life on the web. After any game, no
matter how major or minor, you can find people making all kids of tweets,
posts, and blogs. You can read about any one game for days after it’s happened on the internet,
and while not everything you’ll read is positive, it definitely makes for
continued fun and for interesting reading!
Reason #5: The Snacks
We decided to end our lists of one of the most fun things
about a hockey game, and that’s the delicious wintertime snacks served up at
games. While every rink is different, you’ll find hot chocolate, warm cider,
and steaming popcorn at most, and there’s really nothing like warming your
mouth on a cozy treat while watching your favorite players go at it.
So, there you have it - a few of our favorite things about
hockey. What are yours?
