Geneve Servette Hockey

We enjoyed going to Carolina Hurricanes games in Raleigh, NC, so we decided to check out the local Geneva team with some friends. We found that the tickets were very reasonably priced, and we sat near a goal, in non-assigned seats on benches. For the money, the seats were a lot better than what we could get in the US!
These games typically attract about 8,000 fans. We were surrounded by fans who enthusiastically sang the GSHC songs throughout the whole game! We ended up clapping and singing along (as best we could), especially the one that goes "Allez, allez, allez, allez!"
On my return from a break, I ran into one of the eagle mascots Calvin, who gently pulled my nose, which made me laugh.
Here's one of the balloons we were given at the beginning of the game. Ryan bounced it into the crowd when Geneva scored its first goal.
GSHC lost to Bern that night, 2-3, in a nail-biting ending, but it was a great game and we plan on going again.
