It's been a number of years since Jacksonville has had professional a professional ice hockey team. The newly formed Jacksonville Icemen were greeted by a sold out, enthusiastic crowd for their home opener. They came back from a two goal deficit late in the third period to tie the game and force overtime, but came up short. The game was fairly physical (three fights), competitive and an great experience.
For around $120.00 we had four seats behind the Solar Bears goal and a pass for parking. I prefer sitting center ice, but the view was still good. In fact, there are very few bad seats in the Veterans Memorial Arena. Considering an NHL game will run you at least double while providing similar entertainment, it's a great value.
My wife and two boys (who don't watch the NHL with me) thoroughly enjoyed the game and have asked me to buy tickets to the next home game. The convenient location, nice venue and the greatest team sport on earth, equals a fantastic time. Take the family, there's something for everyone to enjoy at the game!
