Eisbären Berlin!


Last night I went to an ice hockey game here in Berlin and it was a great time! I loved it! The skill wasn't nearly NHL caliber, but it was still fun hockey to watch and the crowd was very rowdy and very involved in the game. It was like a hockey game with a futbol game crowd.

My roommate and I decided to buy tickets kind of last minute... so we ended up paying €40, but the seats were great! We were 13 rows off the ice, so we were just high enough to see over the class but still be pretty close. We sat on the long side on the end the home team shot twice on. To our right was the local rowdy section, it was standing room only, so it was legit "rowdy" section. There were people with drums and noisemakers and I don't think the entire section stopped yelling at any point in the game.

Unfortunately the game ended as a 6-2 loss, but the experience was so awesome and the atmosphere was so intense that it still made for a great game, win or lose. I go again in two week with my parents. I bought seats right behind the rowdy section, so we'll be right in the heart of it... this may be moms first pro-hockey game, I think she's in for quiet the experience! After that, it's only a month until I come home... unbelievable!

Check out the pics I posted of the game using the link to the album to the right. I've been having issues uploading all of them, but I'll get them up there, I promise!

That's it for now, gotta get back to work! Later!
