The Hockey Game

So the other night Jake’s friend called up and asked if he wanted to go to Hockey game and that he had tickets for one of the luxury suites. Jake was all excited and said “Yeah me and Rachael would love to go.” Well as it turns out tickets meant him and Jake, not me. I was ok with that I thought that it would be fun for Jake to have a guys night. I guess Jeff felt bad and got me a ticket as well so us three went to the game. This was my first Hockey game and I must say that it was really fun! The suite was nice and it was a decent view. For being a low scoring sport it was surprisingly fun to watch. There were a bunch of body slams and one fight. Although I don’t understand why the sport of Hockey has more fights then other sports. Is it because the penalty is much lower (5 minutes penalty for fighting, 7 for instigating) or just that the people that play hockey have more aggression? Oh well, I can’t deny that the fighting did make the game a little bit more interesting. Most of the game was tied one to one. Then Utah got a goal near the end of 2 period and kept the lead for awhile. Then about middle of the third period Las Vegas Renegades got a goal and it stayed tied up to the last minute where the Renegades scored again with 32 seconds left on the clock. Sadly the Utah Grizzlies lost. I still enjoyed watching it. Although I did learn that the Hockey team has cheerleader. The Grizzly Ice Girls or something like that. I wasn’t impressed with their dancing, worst then the Jazz dancers. When they were announced as the Ice girls my thoughts were it would be cooler if they were Ice Skaters and maybe knew a little bit of figure skating, that would be cooler ice girls.
