Watching my son play hockey >>>>>>>>>> NHL hockey, not even close. I know that’s not necessarily a fair or relevant comparison, but even watching WHL or AHL hockey is way more entertaining generally. Stopping at some rink if you catch a AAA team that’s like 15 or older, like those are people trying and working and making mistakes which is just way more interesting to watch if you love the game which I do.
When it comes to the Flames it’s like/ call me when you’re relevant again and that means go get a superstar and that means bottom out.

Watching live it is junior hockey all the way for me. I go to a lot of 67’s games with my son. Costs me 35 bucks a game for the two of us. He has a jersey, is passionate about the team and can name most of the players. I can take him to 20 games in a year for 700 bucks total in seats that I would be able to go to 2 NHL games max in.
I take him to one NHL game and it costs me 250 bucks for far worse seats. NHL is just simply unaffordable unless you are a business and 50% is a write off.
