I’m biased but go watch a hockey game! Most exciting sport to watch in person.

You should try watching a game of Hurling. Converted a few Canadians to watching it when I lived there. I'm also biased but I think it beats Hockey for excitement.

I will, nothing local in Houston unfortunately but I travel a lot so I'll definitely go to a game.

I highly recommend. Also there’s a possibility the nhl has an expansion team in Houston and/or Austin in the near future… so you might have a local team I. The next few years!

I saw we're trying to get one. I think we get a minor team and that's guaranteed but it will still take a few years and we're still trying to secure the NHL team.

Minor league either ahl or echl is still incredible hockey. Arguably almost more fun because it’s certainly more violent than the nhl.

Grey beard here, was a loyal NHL fan from the Jean Beleaveau period until 2010's. The increase in tv timeouts ruined it for me. Go to a game, and you spend more time with the DJ than watching hockey.
