Watching Hockey

Ever since I went to two hockey games a couple of weeks ago I have become more and more interested in hockey. When I was young I used to play with friends all the time and had great times playing, but never went to games or watched the sport on the television. When I was young two of my friends who lived in my apartment complex played in hockey leagues so because of them we played the sport often after school. Though I played it often when I was young I did not ever go to a professional game except for once which I don't remember much. I probably haven't played in like 8 years so I kind of forgot about the sport and all the fun I had playing the sport. So when a friend asked me if I wanted to go to a game because he got free tickets I figured why not I used to like it when I was younger. I came in not expecting much from the game but was extremely surprised to find out that I loved watching hockey. After that first exciting game I was just waiting and hoping that I could go to another game before the season ended in about a month. Luckily I was able to convince my uncle and grandfather to go. I went with them to my second game about a week and a half after my first game. I was very excited this time and I hoped that this second game would live up to the excitement that I had when watching my first game. The game did not disappoint. If anything it exceeded my expectations by far. The first game I went to the team I was rooting for, the Anaheim Ducks, lost the game, but at the second game they won and made it that more exciting. After that second game I knew it was certain that I could consider myself a fan of hockey and a fan of the Anaheim Ducks. I tried to make a few more games but I was unable to. So when next season comes around I will be ready and prepared to go to as many games I can go to throughout the season. I think it is funny that hockey would be the sport I love especially since I am really not a sports kind of guy. I enjoy going to baseball games and stuff like that but I never found a sport that I was actually interested enough into to follow it throughout the season. I also find it interesting that the sport I enjoy the most is one that is not extremely popular. Well I am glad that I by chance got to go to a hockey game and in turn discover that there is a sport I enjoy and one that I like enough to follow. Unfortunately now that the season is over it will be another four months before I will be able to go to a game again, but it will be worth the wait now that I consider myself a full blown fan of the Anaheim Ducks.
