I went to a rink recently to watch a game between a couple of local teams. But there was one aspect of the game that was not so pleasing to observe. The fans of the two teams were yelling and screaming at each other throughout the contest in a most uncivil manner.
Hockey is a beautiful sport to watch.
When a team is coached and drilled correctly, fans see team play that is unmatched by any other sport. The six players on the ice coordinate their movements in order to draw the opposition out of balance in their defensive movements thus opening up a clear shot on the goaltender and a scoring opportunity. It could be said that hockey is a game of offensive thrusts. Some rinks lend themselves to face to face conflict. Opposing fans are seated opposite each other.
