Today we went to see my cousin, Marcus's hockey game. (His team is in the black.) They played the number one team in their league, but still held their ground. Marcus got a lot of ice time and played GREAT! He had a great scoring chance and shot on goal and a couple of good hits. One of the players on the other team seemed to have it in for him though. He would shove and push Marcus after the stoppage of play! Marcus was really good about not retaliating and the other player ended up getting 2 penalties! Ha!
The Orebro team (they didnt have a mascot) that Marcus plays on lost despite playing really well, 5-3.
Watching hockey in Sweden is completely different than in the States! People really didnt cheer much at all! They pretty much just clapped when their was a goal. Back home when i played hockey my mom and dad would scream their lungs out every time i was on the ice. I had to be careful because i got really into the game and yelled a few times without thinking... I didnt want to embarrass Marcus!
In between periods we went inside to the consession stand to get hot dogs and hot chocolate. there was a little boy (maybe 5th grade) that was working it with his father... he was able to speak perfect English with me! His father was so proud! I thought he was so cute!!
