Your question deserves an answer, jen.
I am not a fan of the classic games. When the NHL was formed all the teams were playing in indoor rinks. It?s very cold where hockey originated and so people were glad to be able to get out of the elements and be comfortable watching a hockey game. Where I live it?s even colder so I far prefer to sit inside and watch a game rather than be outside shivering and feeling miserable. My reply to those that say I can dress for the conditions is to say that you have no idea what you are saying until you experience temperatures of -35* C plus a strong wind blowing. I?ll watch a really terrible indoor game before I would ever consider watching an outdoor game.
As an added note, I did play organized hockey outside when I was a kid. I didn?t like those games. My friends and I also played road hockey when I was a kid and I didn?t mind those games as we could dress for the weather. We could also quit anytime we felt like.
