I'm going to sound un-Canadian with this post but... We were at a hockey game that was really bad. Home team was losing 5-1 when we left after the second period, and the little girls behind me were screaming at 200 decibels, and when that wasn't enough, they bought vuvuzela horns and blasted them. I was pretty sure that one of them was going to knock my kid over the head with it, while blaring 300 dB in my ear...
Big hockey fight after 2 minutes on the ice which was just stupid, and Kid#2 asked me why everyone was happy when the two hockey players were swinging punches at each other. I couldn't answer that one to be honest.
You know, there's something depressing about OHL hockey that I can't quite put my finger on. Feels sort of like being at the zoo - gratuitous entertainment and fighting, and this hockey mom who was yelling out as though the players and coach could actually hear her - and would actually take her advice if they could...
I appreciate it's part of our Canadiana and all that - but really? A fight after 2 min and the arena loves it? C'mon - we can do better than that...
