Written Option 2:
Johnny has never been the biggest fan of the Far East. Playing games in Europe on the national level as a junior was fun, but that is a real hockey experience. These games in Japan are not quite that. The fans didn't really seem to know when to cheer and when to boo, and of course it wasn't a home crowd in Philly. But at the same time it was a great experience. The locals seemed quite happy to trade some culture, some weird food, and overall gave us a great time. While I don't see the Japanese becoming a major player on the hockey scale, you do never know. As an aside, their IIHF team is quite good, I honestly do wonder how they have so many SHL players without a real hockey league there. Where do all the players play at grade-schoolers? Anyway back to the trip, while I'd rather not have had to fly there, adjust to the time and then back, I did have a great time learning all about the Japanese. I hope the league makes some money off of it, so my paycheck grows. |
