Kati’s First NHL Game!

img_5001

I went to the Washington Capitals game this past weekend, and I loved it! This was my first time going to an NHL game, and it was a great experience!

When my husband and I moved up to this area from North Carolina, we decided it was time for us to pick a hockey team to cheer for. We’ve already picked pro-sports teams to cheer for in most other sports (Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Hornets, etc) so we thought it would be cool to pick a local team from around here!

Our reasoning for picking the team was basically that the Capitals are the closest to where we live and seem to have a good fanbase! My husband and I have been watching as many games as we can on TV and I’ve been slowly learning all the hockey rules (I still don’t understand completely what icing or offsides means??).

My Dad got my husband and I tickets to go to the game this past Saturday for Christmas! The Caps had a rough start, with the Ottawa Senators scoring twice before the Caps scored at all. I was excited to see Ovechkin was the one to score twice and tie up the game in the third period! That sent the game into overtime, and then Nicklas Bäckström scored the game winning goal! The whole arena went insane, I was jumping up and down, it was amazing. I couldn’t believe my luck. My first NHL game and not only did my team win, but it was a comeback/overtime win! So so fun! I will definitely be going again!
