I just moved to Central New York within the last few days, and the first thing I had to do, even before unpacking, was head to a Utica Comets Game. This is the 5 awesome things from my first Utica Comets Game.

5 - The Majesty Of The Utica Auditorium

I love hockey! I was a fan back in Michigan, watched games at Joe Louis Arena, and thought there was nothing better. That was until I watched a game in the Utica Auditorium! The place was amazing - Big, beautiful, clean, and filled with Comets Fans!

4 - The Crazy Utica Fans

Utica knows how to celebrate at hockey games! Every goal, every save, every body check, the crowd was on their feet, cheering and screaming. I couldn't help but join in! It was contagious!

3 - Hockey Cheerleaders

Apparently, they are called the "Utica Comettes." I've never seen cheerleaders at a hockey game. Now I'm wondering why more teams don't have them...

2 - The Ice Gets Hot

The Utica Comets are no push-overs! There were quite a few undeserved body checks, pushing, playing rough, but they didn't just sit there and take it. They fought back! Usually, you expect that a hockey game, but there are some teams out there that... well, don't play rough. It's hockey, it HAS to be played rough!

1 - This Team Kicks... You Know What

The first Utica Comets game I see... we won! 4 to 3. If that's not awesome, I don't know what is!

It's official. I'm addicted! I had so much fun at my first Utica Comets game, I can't wait to go to my next one!
