WHAT TO WEAR TO A HOCKEY GAME IN EDMONTON
It is not as easy as it seems to figure out your outfit for a hockey game. You would like to appear good and keep warm. At the same time, be capable of jumping up when your team scores. All without spilling your beverage. Here are some tips for you.
Dress for the arena
Hockey rinks are cold. You may be cheering your heart out, but that ice-level chill is still going to creep in after the first period. So, think layers.
Begin with something cozy. It could be a long-sleeved top. Then, add a warm-up hoodie or sweatshirt. Finish it all with a jacket. It should be easy to remove in case it gets hot.
Nothing too big, too heavy to carry. See, you will be clapping, high-fiving, jumping out of your seat when the score goes on your side.
Show your team spirit
It is time now that you put your pride on your sleeve, literally. It is all about the mood in hockey games. There is no better way to blend in and become better than being in the colors of your team. It can be:
- A traditional jersey
- A beanie
- A scarf
- A t-shirt
- A hoodie, etc.
When you wear your team apparel, you instantly identify with the rest of the crowd.
A dash of Edmonton Oilers clothing will work wonders. You can wear a branded hoodie underneath a denim jacket. An Oilers toque on top of your favorite jeans will also work. These styles strike that delicate balance between classic and fun.
You will be comfortable enough to enjoy the game. Still, your outfit will announce loudly and clearly who you are supporting.
Stay casual
Hockey is sporty and casual. You can wear leggings or joggers. But ensure you can feel comfortable for hours. Along with sneakers or boots that may endure a small amount of walking through crowds.
Leave the heels and stiff clothes at home. This is a fun night and not a runaway walking night. And do not be shy of mixing textures:
- Add a flannel to the waist
- Wear a team scarf
- Put on a puffer vest.
These items will add warmth and volume.
Don’t forget the little things
A small backpack or crossbody bag will come in handy. This will make your hands free to snack and cheer. Remember gloves or mittens in case it gets really cold. And perhaps put in one layer more in case you happen to find yourself in one of those rinks that by the second period turn into a freezer.
The final words
Whatever you wear to a hockey game at the end of the day ought to make you feel comfortable and confident. You will be there to have fun. Not to worry about your clothes.
So bundle up. Put on that Oilers hoodie and prepare to cheer. When comfort and team spirit come together, you can concentrate on what really counts: every heart-pounding moment on the ice. The aim is to be comfortable and to express your love to the team.
