I love hockey. I'm a HUGE Bruins fan, but I just generally enjoy the sport a lot. Of course I want the Bruins to win, but in a pinch, I'll settle for the Canadiens and Rangers losing.

I enjoy NHL games, but they lack a passion that lower level leagues have. US college hockey games are a blast, especially the BeanPot games in Boston (an annual tournament amongst local universities). BeanPot games can make even the sterile new Fleet Center rock.

Mostly, I like games where the players still play for pride...
Philly is fortunate, as our AHL farm team (phantoms) play right next door in the older arena. So you can almost always find some good hockey going on

I love the AHL games, tickets are only $20.00 for first level, action is usually twice as much. We usually take a group of rent-a-kids with us, as the games are family oriented. So it works out well.
