[QUOTE="JoeBlank, post: 2035904, member: 1806"] Shows the depth of my ignorance, I did not even know there might be a need to specify "ice" hockey. Exactly what I needed, many thanks. For the record, my son has not expressed an interest in playing, at this point we are just going to a AA game. He does have a friend who plays indoor roller hockey, but I don't even know if there are actual ice hockey leagues in the area. My feeling is that 6 is a bit young for contact sports, and from what I know hockey is as much or more of a contact sport than football (american, that is). He will be sticking with baseball for a little while longer, which is fine with me. This is what I have heard, that you must see the sport live to appreciate it, and that television does not do it justice. Thanks for the warning. I recall a story from a few years ago where a young girl was hit by a puck and hurt badly. I don't believe we are in the corner, but I will use this opportunity to reinforce with my son my rule that if you are not there to watch to game then you should probably just go home. The same certianly applies to baseball, where foul balls can come suddenly. If the game does not hold his interest until the end, that is fine and we will just head home. Which reminds me, how long should I expect the game to last? I told my wife about the 3 periods of 20 minutes each, and she asked "are those 'football' minutes?" barsoomcore mentioned that the clock does not frequently stop, so I am guessing a couple of hours total, does that sound about right? How long are the breaks between periods? Thanks for the responses, everyone. Now dear old dad won't look like a total idiot. Well, maybe to the actual fans, but not to my son, and that is what matters. [/QUOTE]
