Hockey Time in Prague

While we were wrapping up our last week in Prague, hockey was still not back in North America yet. We decided to get our hockey fix while in Prague and go check out some of the NHL players on European teams while on the lockout.

We got tickets to the Lev Praha game on Friday night to see them play Lokomotiv Laroslavl from Russia. The game was a ton of fun and everyone was really into it. It wasn't too hostile between the two teams fans since the Russian team lost their entire team in a plane crash in 2011. They had a moment of silence at one of the breaks and played a video. Very sad situation, but the game was fun regardless.

Lev Praha won and it was a high scoring game. We saw some former Penguin players, Zedeno Chara and  Marion Hossa's little brother all play. It was fun and a nice date night. I guess this would have been a much better post if hockey wasn't back in America yet, but Euro hockey definitely is a different game. The area is more like a high school or small college stadium.

Now that the NHL is back we are hoping to catch some Leafs games while in Toronto. We are making a Toronto sports bucket list and are going to check some things off! The first item checked off this weekend was a Raptors NBA game. Look for a post on that later on this week!
