I had never been to a hockey game before, but thanks to eBay (my first time on eBay, believe it or not), I scored tickets to the last weekend Sharks game which was sold out. The game was much quieter than I expected - the players gliding across the ice and flicking the small rubber puck around. I thought it was amusing that when a player commits a penalty, they are confined to a clear “box” called the penalty box, like being grounded or wearing a dunce cap facing the corner of a wall. Also, during the game, some guy nearby yelled, “Hit somebody!” Apparently, fighting between players is a common occurrence and the referees will stop and allow them to fight before calling the penalties. And these are grown adults?!
