Our experiences:When we went to the hockey game, not very many people were in the stadium because, at the same time, there was a football game. But some Americans told us that normally there are many people and that ice hockey is a very popular sport over there. Before the game started, they played music and the mascot (a wolf) danced. The game was very fast and we could not always see the puck. During the first break we bought sweets, something to drink and some food. During the break, a dance team of the Wenatchee High School danced. After that the mascot came on the field in a car and threw T-shirts into the crowd. During the second break we could throw plastic pucks on the ice hockey field, and the person to hit the middle of the field won two shopping vouchers worth 100$. We had bought the pucks before the game.Our personal conclusion:We were there for about 2 hours. At the beginning it was very interesting. But after the first break it was a bit boring. So we went to the football game.
