RE: Can't beat fun at the old ball park... especially if you love heckling.

in #sports6 years ago (edited)

When I was a kid some friends and I would sit behind the opposing team's bench at junior hockey games. We'd bang on the glass behind the coach to the beat of what ever song was playing and yell over him when he'd decide to bark orders at the team so nobody could hear him. Security would eventually come and wag their fingers at us so we'd move to the other side of the rink where the opposing team could see us and from there we'd wave and do stupid things to distract them further. Not sure if any of that worked but we were having fun, so whatever.

Sort:  

Junior hockey games huh? Now that is dedication! I bet you could have left some nice artwork on the glass for the opponents. Not sure what medium you would have worked in though. Probably something that you could make yourself.

We didn't have a pro team in the town I grew up in. The entire province doesn't even have a pro team, so junior hockey is where it's at. As for the uh, artwork, well, if you spit on the glass you can't see the game. There was an incident where a woman rubbed dirty diaper ingredients all over the place and that may have traumatized me but other than that, people like to keep the place clean.

I grew up in Halifax, Nova Scotia and we would do the same things at all the Voyagers and Oilers games when we had an AHL team. Then came the QMJHL and the Mooseheads. We went to almost every game because it was cheap to get in and we always sat right behind the opponent's bench.vSo much fun to get in their heads.
