How do you pick a hockey team?
I can’t seem to decide between the Montreal Canadiens or the Toronto Maple leafs, but also find it very hard to cheer against either (since i was raised and have friends in both cities AND have history with both teams).
I decided to start following hockey closely. how is it that people usually find their teams?
Most people have a parent that likes a certain team and they are raised to like that team. That’s how it is for me. But some people do it on what’s the closest team or people follow one player and whatever team he is on they root for that team. It’s really all up to you.
look at the place they’re in (like first, second, third.. that kinda place lol), and who ever’s better – go with them. or, see which team has the better or more experienced players. and look at their history, who won more stanley cups. btw, i’d go with montreal
Most people just root for their hometown team, but I know plenty of people who just love watching the game; they don’t have one favorite team, they just enjoy. You can take sort of a weird middle path between two of the game’s fiercest rivals if you want.
Usually a person will have a favorite team based on the city they live in or are nearest too. For me besides that, I like different teams based on players I like.
go for montreal!
I’m really not sure how i got into my team (coyotes) living completely on the other side of the states. My mom like boston and my grandpa likes detroit (so do i) so i guess that is true by how you are raised. Go coyotes eh!?
hometown or favorite player..
GO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!! decide the habs they are better in their confrence and they have a fun team !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In my case, I was born and raised in Philly so naturally I grew up rooting for the Flyers (and still do, of course).
There really isn’t a “rule” on how to pick a favorite team. Most people I know are fans of their hometown teams or whatever team their favorite player is on. But I also know people who cheer for teams on the opposite side of the country.
Alright, Whatever You Do, DO NOT pick toronto as your favorite team!
They Are Crap!
Why Not Pick The Best Team In The NHL…The CANUCKS!
