One event that I attended so far here at Southern, was the hockey game this past Thursday, September 30. It was a game between rivals, University of New Haven (UNH) and Southern (SCSU). The game was very intense and each team did a great job. Even though Southern should’ve won on several occasions, it was still a great game and they tried their best.
This hockey game was the first ever hockey game I’ve ever been to and seen live in person. It was one of the most intense games I’ve ever seen. Southern was in the lead going into the last quarter of the game, winning by two to one. It looked as if Southern was going to win this game with nine seconds left of the game, but then UNH ended up scoring within less than a second left of the game, to tie it up. At that point everyone started screaming and yelling because there was no way they could believe their eyes, and no one was expecting that to happen. Everyone thought the game was over and there was no way UNH could catch up.
The game ended up going into overtime and both teams were playing harder than ever. Then as the game was going along Southern ended up scoring but there was a big commotion near the goal area that the referee didn’t end up seeing the puck go in. Even though the referee didn’t see it I know it went in and I know that Southern was the true winner of the game. The game ended in a stalemate but it was definitely worth going to see. After seeing this game I will definitely attend more of their games, and I encourage those who haven’t seen hockey being played live to go do so.
