In the article "the 25 best hockey traditions" published by the sports database shows very well how the fans find this very interesting to them and that the game is very important to the players. The source is very reliable because it is one of the most popular sports resources.

"It all started with the New York Islanders during their run of four straight Stanley Cups from 1980-1983: the playoff beard."
This shows at what point hockey is important to people who play the game. It influences them a lot and they create traditions with the game it influences how they live and how they look which I find pretty cool for a sport.
"The great tradition surrounding hat tricks is that after a player scores his third goal, fans toss hats onto the ice in celebration."
This shows at what point hockey can shape the belief of fans, and you do not need to be considered a 'die hard fan' to be part of the hat trick celebration tradition. Fans are ready to give up hats that can cost up to 40$ to celebrate their players 3 goals. It's got to be in your blood if you do that.
There are many more examples of sports tradition that show at what point fans love the game. The Detroit Red Wing often times throw an octopus on the ice before the games. In my next blog post I will research how the costs associated with hockey has changed over time .
