Just the energy in the crowd at a hockey game is something to be experienced.<br /><br />The players are impressive no matter what team you root for!

Hockey is by far the hardest sport out there and it requires, as Kerri said, a tremendous amount of skill. You have men--most over 6 feet tall and weighing more than 200 pounds--teetering on thin knives while they attempt to avoid being pounded by men of equal size carrying sticks and trying to get a tiny piece of rubber into a net. Now granted, that's a good size net, but the goalie in his pads covers most of it, as opposed to soccer, where most of the net is exposed.<br /><br />Kerri, I didn't get tossed out, but I'm thinking the ref must have been deaf as well as blind because I screamed at the top of my lungs, and my family will tell you that earplugs are required to avoid shattering eardrums when that happens. :)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610315916146710519.post-13669744032875048622010-08-05T13:45:23.977-04:002010-08-05T13:45:23.977-04:00Cheryl~

LOL<br /><br />Judy~<br /><br />I highly recommend attending a game if the opportunity presents itself. It is fast paced and exciting every minute. But live is much better than t.v.--in my opinion.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments!kerribookwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12053435693537530987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610315916146710519.post-60488931568978512132010-08-05T12:28:18.414-04:002010-08-05T12:28:18.414-04:00I also do not know much about Hockey, since I am f...I also do not know much about Hockey, since I am from the South also. In the last few years, I have been exposed to the game more and more and have started watching the games on TV. I definitely have noticed the MEN. Your book sounds very good, I am going to check it out. I am enjoying your tour, Thanks!!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625886775965231468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610315916146710519.post-17918763585643061872010-08-05T10:56:02.563-04:002010-08-05T10:56:02.563-04:00Thanks for stopping by everyone.

Back in the early days of our relationship, my husband (boyfriend at the time) took me to see the Bruins. He tells me that he knew he was in love when I said, "That's the best sound--the puck clacking against a stick." <br /><br />Kerri, I could tell you some hockey mom horror stories, like the time I could have gotten tossed from the arena for screaming, "Do your F'ing job, ref." Oh my, I blush just thinking about it now. Hockey tournaments bring out the worst in me.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610315916146710519.post-77550710945114805902010-08-05T09:53:42.001-04:002010-08-05T09:53:42.001-04:00Andrea,

If we hadn't had a local CHL team around here--I never would have gotten the chance to experience it either. I highly recommend it.<br /><br />But...football is still my fave (you can't take that out of a southern girl)!<br /><br />Glad you're enjoying the tour and thanks again for your support!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />K.kerribookwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12053435693537530987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610315916146710519.post-41051068590223567382010-08-05T09:52:21.610-04:002010-08-05T09:52:21.610-04:00Rebecca!

I've seen a game or two since we have a pro team. My kid's sports were football, baseball and then softball for two of my daughters. I can identify with practices and travelling for games.

I'm impressed to hear that your son was such an active and successful hockey player. I'm sure he remembers how supportive you were. <br /><br />I'm the mother of 3 but just had my first boy earlier this year. I already see him playing football or some other injury filled sport and I'm biting my nails already.
