Marxx71 1 Report post Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Why isn't there any standing sections in the NHL, like the most teams got in the SEL. What do you think about standing sections? Do you think its good/bad? Do you think that only "hooligans" is in the standing sections, and do you even think that is bad? Some examples from the SEL: Supportergroup: Northpower Town Skellefteå - 35 000 people in the city. Team: Skellefteå AIK Arena: Skelleteå Kraft Arena - 6001 seats/standing go to 0:49 on this clipSupportergroup: Järnkaminerna Town: Stockholm - 1 000 000 Team: Djurgården IF Arena: Ericcson Globe about 13 000 seats. Second clip: Johannes hov about 8000 seats http://www.youtube.c...h?v=0AshSe0kcTQ I think that the sections are very important to the teams, and its a great feeling when your in a "cheer section". What do you think? Do you want it in the NHL? Edited May 17, 2012 by Marxx71 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marxx71 1 Report post Posted May 18, 2012 I think the supporter culture in icehockey in Europ comes from the European Football/Soccer (or what ever you might call it) culture, and that's maby why it hasn't deploved in North America. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You cheer when necessary and it is cool to see places like Winnipeg that are absolutely apes***, but just enjoy the game and your good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
