You know what is great about playing hockey. I can handle the cold and am used to fighting that feeling that seeps into your bones while waiting for the next move to happen.
But you know what is even better…
Playing in a dome!
That's right. I love my bubble fields, the chance to just not worry about the heat, or the heat, or the heat, (Austin remember), or when we travel the rain or wind. Domes are great and luckily we only have a couple of games a season in the cold not in one of the domes around the league.
From memory (forgive me if I am wrong I play in a lot of venues between both my sports).
Chicago, dome
Arizona, dome (thank god)
Philly, dome
Nola, dome
So with us that is half the league. And visiting San Jose or Orange county just isn't that bad weather wise let's be honest. So that leaves Colorado, Yellowknife and Baltimore as potential cold visits.
Colorado has its own issues aside from the weather, with the altitude. Baltimore does get cold but usually windy. And to be honest why the hell does Yellowknife not have a dome, it's rediculous. So don't bother preparing for YK as it's not worth bothering it is so cold. I just play with extras of everything on and hope my gloves don't get brittle. Everywhere else is basically fine.
As I said. Thank god for domes. Even if I like the cold - which I do.
