Right when I was working on my school work with Mama, we got a phone call asking if we wanted free tickets to go to a hockey game! If we wanted to go, we needed to leave right away to get the tickets and then ride the train. We said YES!
So I went to my first hockey game. It was in a big building called an arena. Hockey can be played on grass or on ice. If hockey is on ice then the players wear ice skates. This game was on ice.
I ate clam chowder while I watched two teams play ice hockey.
I asked Daddy a lot of questions so I could learn about the game.
The players tried to get the little black circle, I think it is called a pock, into the other team’s net and that is called a goal. A player guards each net so not too many goals happen. The players use hockey sticks to push the pock. If someone does not follow the rules or fights, they get in trouble and I think it is called a pintel.
I liked watching hockey. I learned how to cheer and do special clapping and stomping. It was noisy and it felt exciting to be there.
