Sports. Honestly. Since 2011

NHL Underway – What Kind of Fan are YOU?

As six teams begin their quest for Lord Stanley’s cup tonight, I would like to take the opportunity to inform you that we at LastWordOnSports will be bringing you an NHL article every day for the balance of this hockey season.  Unlike so many other one-dimensional blog sites that will report on only one sport, or a single team or player, we will have entries representing many of today’s most endeared sports – think of it as a daily one-stop shop for informative, interesting commentary on the sports you love best.  With that in mind, now I can ask the question, “What kind of sports fan are you?”.

People watch sports for so many reasons.  Whether we admit it or not, many people enjoy living vicariously through the lives of their favourite athletes or teams.  Ahem, Stevie Y circa late 80’s and 90’s for me.  But other people see sports as a break from hectic or mundane lives  – a way to escape for just a little bit of the pressures and stresses that life throws at us seemingly every day.  And then there are adrenaline junkies who, unless they are out climbing mountains or purposefully falling out of airplanes, will satisfy their needs by watching sports that offers a little extra “UMPH!”.  And there are still other people who find the sentimental, ……… aspect of sports to be therapeutic.

As the NHL season begins, what is your style?  Are you the type that follows news around like a lost puppy, constantly checking your apps and Twitter accounts for what’s going on?  Do you follow a specific team and find it important to chat with other like-minded individuals in message boards or via tweets?  There will be some of you that just like to sit in your recliner with a BEvERage and flip channels between games, looking for the liveliest action.  And perhaps there are many who just catch the occasional game due to “life” and visit sites such as this to stay current on what is going on in the world of sports.

Whatever your reason for watching sports, and no matter the style in which you watch them, one thing is for sure, the world is right again now that the NHL is back!

And that is the last word…
