Socks O'Sand: NHL Outdoor Games Worthy?

Socks O'Sand: NHL Outdoor Games Worthy?

 

 

 

This year we see an influx of 6 Outdoor games from the NHL and the big question right now seems to be is that a good idea?

ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY? Of course it's a good idea. Going to hockey games is some of the most fun you can have when choosing a sport to actually go and watch. It's fast paced, high scoring, and extremely violent; all great things.

The sport of hockey is meant to be played outside. People who have made the sport their life, can tell you countless stories of playing on a pond near their house with the boys (always remember to sharpen those blades after a Pond Sesh though haha.) Watching a game outdoors makes you feel like your sacrificing with the team out in the cold. Have a few sodas to warm you up.

This year we have new games in Chicago, Los Angeles, Vancouver, New York, and Michigan. The spreading of these outdoor games can only help the sport of hockey spread and become more popular amongst people who haven't had the exposure.  The game between the Kings and Ducks is the one to watch. Los Angeles has been hockey friendly and is gaining popularity with the Underdog Cup Winning Kings season and the powerful seasons the Anaheim Ducks have been putting together. Another game to watch will be the Red Wings/Maple Leafs game. Both teams are Original Six with deep fan bases and lots of experience.

Note: College teams are now taking part in the outdoor fun like Norwich University facing Babson Jan 9.

Check out the venue for the outdoor game below in Croatia. So Legit!
