Since the United States won the Olympics, hockey piqued my interest. Never really watched it but I’d watch clips on social media. Living in SC all my life and growing up with parents that weren’t invested in sports, hockey was never talked about.
I got a new job and my boss lives in Ohio/michigan and he’s a huge red wings fan, and still plays hockey today. So then I got more invested and looked up teams, players etc.
With the playoffs being in action I started watching the games. I love the pace, the swiftness, I love the toughness and the grittiness, I love the lingo and the rules I just have loved watching these games and I want to be part of the culture.
Being from SC, naturally I want the hurricanes to be the team I root for. I am moving closer to Raleigh in the summer and I 100% want to go to games next season.
As a new fan to the sport, and to the team, what should I know? Im super excited to be here and learn about the team and the sport.
