I went to about half of the Storm’s home games, and I tended to watch most of the rest of the team’s games on TV. I found that it helped me understand both the players and the fans better, and somewhere along the line I’d gotten to where I truly enjoyed watching, not just for my job. I should probably go to more games in person than I did these days, but I tended to be a very habitual person. Early on, I’d decided to watch most of the games on TV so that I could hear the commentators and learn the ins and outs of the sport. I didn’t want to feel like an idiot when I went to the games or interacted with the guys on the team. Even though I understood the rules and the nuances of the game now, I’d had a hard time changing my ritual. Liam gave me tickets to every home game as a perk. The ones I didn’t use for myself, I donated to various charities. Tonight was this season’s home opener, and since I had worked late trying to get caught up on my accounting, I’d given my tickets away.
