I'm taking my 6-year-old son to a AA Hockey game tonight, a first for the both of us. He won tickets at a school program.
I know very little about the sport, and have never even watched more than a few minutes on television. I gather there are 3 periods of 20 minutes each, that each team has a goalie and smacks a puck around trying to score, and that is about it. Sort of soccor on ice, but I am no fan of soccer either. Not that I dislike the sports, I am just in the southern U.S., where there is not much hockey to get excited about. Now we have a minor league team close by, and I thought I should at least give it a chance, especially now that we have the free tickets.
Do I need to know anything else? I don't think I will be much help if my son has any questions. Any words of advice or basic hockey info?
Thanks.
