Hockey is a very serious sport. It can be very violent, exciting and interesting to watch. Hockey is also an exciting game to play, I would know. I've been playing hockey for 13 years and it never gets old. The excitement in hockey comes from the violent checking (hitting) other players, the skill level of some of the players which makes the game fun to watch and play, and finally the high speed skating of all the players during a game.
There is also a tremendous brotherhood between teammates that could never be broken. Every day you go to the rink which hockey players like to call "their second home" and they skate together and get better as a team. Here is a link to a video which will make my point clear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48UPvSV5GsA
And also if this video does not give you chills
This video was during the NHL lockout during the 2012 season, the owners of the hockey teams were complaining about their salary and demanded more money which would leave the players with less pay then they deserved, the 2012 season was very emotional and it led to a large revolution of hockey fans demanding their desired hockey season back and it was successful.
When a team comes to the rink, it's basically like coming to work. Every hockey player who plays knows that it is time for work and they need to be mentally and physically prepared for "battle".
The reason why hockey is such an exciting sport is because of the different types of players. For example there are grinders who are physical and get the puck in the scrum, there are goons who are mostly used for hitting and fighting dangerous opponents, there are snipers who are able to shoot very accurately and score from long distances, and danglers who are in my opinion the most skilled players who have the moves to get through numerous players and make a play. The game of hockey is best enjoyed during the playoffs, and the prized Lord Stanley's Cup is hoisted by the winning teams captain and passed along through the team. It sends chills through hockey players body and is a joyful sight to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-adnOYdqJg
