Ice Hockey Fans Around The World
I do not know why, but for some crazy reason when I talk to my friends about hockey they simply decide to tune me out. They always mention that hockey is too hard to watch, which is the reason why they and many other sports fans turn away from the sport of hockey as a spectator sport. I am an absolute hockey fanatic, and while I do play hockey and have for pretty much my whole life, I am going to go out on a limb and say that I would still watch ice hockey even if I never played it. I think that being entertained by the sport of ice hockey is knowing what and who to focus on during the game.
The National Hockey League gets criticized for being a league that does not promote it’s sport properly. When you compare hockey to baseball, football and basketball it often gets blasted by the media and other sports fans alike, but I honestly feel that the reason why these people disconnect with ice hockey is because they have never really given it a chance. There are quite a few other sports in America that get more coverage in the media and it is quite rare to see hockey highlights on the news, so there really is nothing drawing in fans from the other sports that are so prominent on our television channels and in our newspapers.
In other countries such as Sweden, Finland, Russia and many other European countries the hockey fans are obsessed with the sport. It is not because they have a better product over there, it is quite the opposite in fact because the NHL is the best hockey league in the world. The reason why European fans flock to see their local teams sporting their Jofa hockey helmets and Tackla hockey pants is because it is such a fun sport to watch that is incredibly fast paced and full contact. The European style of hockey might be a bit different than the North American style of hockey, but there is no reason for people in America not to get into the sport of ice hockey. Canadien and European fans see the sport of hockey as one of the most entertaining sports, and while Americans are a little behind on realizing the entertainment value of hockey, I have a feeling with more and more American hockey players excelling at the sport we will soon enough see ice hockey as a main stream sport in the United States.
