Day off Super League Hockey game!



Our group standing outside of Globen City

 



Today we had our day off. We went to the Super League game in downtown Stockholm next to the Globe ice arena. It was Djurgardens vs. Timra. Different areas of Sweden that have teams. When we got to the Globen city rinks Malin told me how a few weeks ago a huge fight broke out during the game. Then said that it gets really crazy and loud in there like a european soccer game. I was like oh i'm sure its not that bad, then we started walking past tons of police officers walking around everywhere with riot gear on. And as we walked closer to the arena we could hear the loud chanting through the walls of the building. We went into the building and were walking around the side where the people chanting were sitting and it was deafening. The game was pretty fun, it was ok hockey and only got heated for a few minutes in the game, but what was more exciting was the crowd experience and the different songs they sang in unison.

Then after the game we went to a different part of the city and had dinner at O'Learys for some non Swedish food. I had some hot wings! Then we walked to the train station 15 minutes away and had a huge snowball fight on the way. It was Ilona and I vs Stacey and Therese with others getting involved here and there. It was funny because at first it was a couple of us throwing snow backwards then someone nailed Stacey in the head, then she said Oh its on! Therese snowed me in the face and we chased each other down the streets the whole way to the station.
