Well my advice is to just start watching come next season, and from there you'll probably gradually have more enthusiasm and interest for the game. Take me for example, I started watching the NBA a few years back and a spark of interest in the sport soon turned into a love for it. Oh yeah, and it's also ideal to have a team of your preference, because it only adds to the fun. Doesn't necessarily have to be Toronto in your case; it can be any team you choose. Make sure it's a team you'll have faith in and will not leave no matter what; otherwise you'd be called a bandwagoner! I ain't sayin' bandwagoners are bad, but.... ANYWAY, in terms of knowledge of the sport, again, just keep watching. It's a better alternative to looking up the rule book online. If you say, "hey, I wonder why the ref blew the whistle, seemed alright to me", It'l come to you through spectating many games.Krytae wrote:I'm trying to get into Hockey. When I was growing up, I would watch a few games whenever I'd see one on TV, but I think the reason why I was never too focused on watching it all the time is because I don't have a favourite team to follow. I really enjoy the sport though, it keeps me glued to the TV. I just wish I had more knowledge about the game and the players, you know?
I'm not a big fan of hockey, so I can't tell you much of the regulations; all I know is that those players, they do like to fight.
There's my advice; I know all of this from experience.
So is it just hockey?
