I watched my first hockey game.
It was the Toronto Marlies vs. the Utica Comets. THe Marlies are an American Hockey League team, not the highest league, NHL, but the
level is still high. The venue was the Ricoh Coliseum —I mistakenly went the Air Canada Centre five minutes before the game began, so I saw the game from the middle. There were a lot of audience members wearing
uniforms, snack shops, and hockey item shops. I felt like "that's the very hockey venue!".
I was not sure about hockey and the Toronto Marlies,
so I mistook the Comets for the Marlies because, despite the fact that the symbol for the Marlies was mainly
blue, their uniforms were white, and the opponents' were blue. It was a little
confusing. Firstly, I was clapping for the Comets scoring. After that, I noticed because
the white guys scored and the audience got excited and shouted. So embarrassed.
It was a close game, the Marlies were behind,
one to three in the second period but they caught up to them, four to four! But eventually, the Marlies fell. Anyway it was fun, and it can't be seen in Japan.
Thank you Matthew.wedgeroberts, James.
