Addictive
by JenLee on 12/6/23It started with a decision to go to a hockey game for my birthday with my husband and two daughters. Then it slowly evolved to consume my life… First we made sure we attended a game almost every week. It quickly progressed to attending every weekend home game. Then bed times? Who needs those! We cannot miss weekday home games either. Surely our presence would be missed in the stands! The cowbells wouldn’t be as loud if we weren’t there. How would the refs know if they were doing a good job if I wasn’t yelling it at them? Then… how could we wait until the end of away games to have the final score? Solution: $30 monthly subscription to FloSports to watch every away game. Did it stop there? Of course not… I began bidding copious amounts of money on jerseys, signed pucks, and other Stingrays memorabilia. I found I was no longer waking up and going to sleep with my husband on my mind. It was hockey. Hockey seemed to dominate all of my decisions and all of my conversations. My friends and family were left confused as I had never loved sports before. Suddenly I wasn’t showing up to parties and showers. I was checking my calendar to ensure no games were playing before making any commitments. I make no apologies though. Hockey is a way of life. Hockey IS life. And I love the Stingrays… so much so we are now Full Season Ticket Holders. 36 home games (plus 36 away games to stream) + potential playoff games is a huge commitment for an 8 month season, but I am here for it and up to the challenge. Thank you for the immense joy you have brought my family. 10/10 recommend coming out to support this team!! You won’t regret it, I promise. But it may be addictive
