Fall has always been my favorite time of year. The cooler temperatures, the colors, falling leaves, Halloween, and to the dismay of many, the clocks “falling back” and becoming dark just past the 5 o’clock hour. Those things and others bring me joy and I seem to have an extra bounce in my step.
However, the biggest reason I enjoy the fall so much is it marks the beginning of the NHL season. I love the sport of hockey and have been a fan of the NHL and most notably the Pitsburgh Penguins for 50 years. It’s a wonderful sport to watch but even better if you’re there live and in person. If you’ve never attended a game, I highly recommend you give it a try.
Significantly, the players in the NHL rarely get caught up in all the social media discord so common with the NFL, NBA, and WNBA. Those league’s players (not all of them of course) utilize social media platforms to voice their bitterness, jealousy, anger, and other vitriol and ill will. It’s a turn off and I’m overjoyed when those seasons end. Who’s the lone moron that didn’t give Caitlin Clark a first-place vote for Rookie of The Year? Sorry for that tiny rant…but just saying.
The 2024 NHL season starts today. Drop the puck and Let’s Go Pens!
