I took the family to a local minor league hockey game, and we all had a BLAST -- even the wife! And there is no better athlete to support than a poorly-paid White guy that is chasing his dream.
We got the tickets for $10.00 a piece, and the arena (7 miles from my house) is fairly small, so even the cheap seats have great sightlines. The crowd -- about 4000 strong on a Saturday night -- was surprisingly active and knowledgeable about the game. The parking was free, and the beer was reasonably priced. Three fights broke out, which my youngest daughter thought was the very best part.
To top it all off, the home team won in a blowout. All in all, it was a great family outing and we can't wait to go back.
Local hockey affiliates are in every corner of the country now. Do yourself a favor and take the fam to a game, root for some hungry White athletes, and you'll be hooked. I had been to few games with my buddies, but I had no idea that my family would enjoy it so much. In fact, my brother and I are thinking about splitting a season ticket package next year, which will cost less for 4 decent tickets than it would be to buy 2 of the cheap tickets at an NHL arena.
Does anyone else have a local minor league team that you follow?
