For a long time, I have had a strong passion for hockey. But where does it come from and more importantly, why it’s so deep and intense? I don’t know about you, but I feel so involved when my team is playing an important game. It’s like there’s no tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n

The origin itself is fairly simple to trace. For as long as I can remember from my youth, I have noticed that something unusual would happen on Saturday nights. The uncles, aunties, and cousins would all gather at the house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hockey night\u2009!<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

A few years ago, Quebec’s French-language sports media had a program called La soir\u00e9e du Hockey<\/a><\/strong>, which for many of us, is still a sweet nostalgia of our Saturday nights with the family.<\/span><\/p>\n

That night, we were treated to popcorn, licorice and even, oh sacrilegious, soft drinks! How could we not deduce that hockey was a special, even sacred, event?<\/span><\/p>\n

The wives would chat in the kitchen. The cousins played in a bedroom and the men were glued to the small screen in the living room. I remember watching them, at the age of 5, not really understanding what was going on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They were gesticulating and talking loudly. They were stubborn and tense.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Passion<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

La Soir\u00e9e du Hockey ( Original theme)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

My curiosity wins out<\/span><\/h3>\n

Between the three groups, I decided to join them. Who knows why? It was almost scary to watch them go, but something drew me to this craze.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I realized, much later, that it was actually the intensity of their passion that drew me in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, I am indeed a rather intense and passionate person! So my choice at the time was not surprising.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Passion\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"chronique<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My love for this sport, which is sometimes a little excessive, was born during my childhood. My family is largely responsible for this. Popcorn, licorice and soda pop probably played an important role too!<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, hockey is an integral part of my life. I don’t play it, but I am a “die-hard fan”. The Montreal Canadiens<\/a><\/strong> and the Hockey Canada women’s team<\/a><\/strong> have a special place in my heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Passionate for hockey to the point of losing my temper!<\/span><\/h3>\n

When I listen to a game, the higher the stakes, like a Stanley Cup Final or the Women’s World Hockey Championship, the more I lose it!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well yes! My heart rate increases. I can’t stand still. My legs even spasm as I skate with them… or her! I fight for the puck. I even tense up to help the goalie on a breakaway from the enemy camp.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To tell you how exhausted I am after a game, I’m almost to the point of having to set up a post-game routine. A bit like the players: take an ice bath to rest my poor legs, stretch and get a massage for my aches and pains.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Intense and passionate, as I told you!<\/h3>\n

Imagine the moments I had last February when our Canadian<\/a><\/strong> women won back the gold from the Americans… My passion for hockey was simply at its peak!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And you, how do you live yours?<\/p>\n
