Aaaaaaaaa
I actually haven't watched a hockey game before but I heard it's brutal

If you're in Florida, you have tons of teams to choose from! Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning in NHL... and Florida Everblades, Jacksonville Icemen, and Orlando Solar Bears in ECHL. You should pick whatever's closest to you and go :) The ECHL teams are still pro teams, but will be much less expensive (like $15 a ticket usually).
Watching in person vs on TV is so much different for sports, and ice arenas are so small that you're pretty close to the action no matter where you're sitting.

i think you mean it is that time of year where kids in fwd shitboxes will be playing the song of my people aka ripping their handbrake for snow skids season

Porque no los dos?

Go Leafs! Also I hope I get a few good games in.

Good luck this season!! Go Flames >:3

The only hockey games I've been involved with were video games haha. I should go to one, just for the experience.

You have the Utah Grizzlies you could be cheering for!! ECHL is professional league, but tickets are generally inexpensive. Like $15 each.
You should totally go! I was never super into sports, but hockey is cheap, fast paced, and the stadiums are usually pretty small so you get a great view of everything.

Wow, you seem very knowledgeable. But yeah, I probably will! $15 is not much.

(I really like hockey)
