Being a Hockey Parent

[E.J.]

AMAZING crowd last night at the game. We played a team that I wouldn’t really call a rival or even someone we consider an afterthought. They are having what has to be their best hockey season ever and feel like a State title is within reach. They are one of the two biggest schools in the State, about double the population of our student body and historically are VERY good at the major sports.

Anyway, they brought the house, arena was PACKED. Lots of noise, atmosphere that I have never seen at a regular season game. That intensified after they scored the first goal of the game, about 3-4 minutes into the first.

It went downhill from there for the opposing team. We CRUSHED them(9-3), but it was still nuts. I love that type of atmosphere for the kids & I know they revel in it.

No pics at work, will throw some up later....
