little things about hockey that i love:
- stick taps
- head pats
- fist bumps
- “fucking right”s
- the sound of skates scraping the ice
- smiling players
- cellys that involve fist pumping, head-butts, outstretched arms, and jumping
- glove dropping
- perfect passes
- sticks flexing
- mouthguards that never stay in the player’s mouth
- insane dangling
- top shelf goals
- wrap-arounds
- backhanders
- sticking up for the goalie
- glove saves
- stick saves
- diving saves
- the roar of the crowd
- the puck dropping
- hats flying
- friendly chirping
- breakaways
- hip checks
- celebrating with the goalie after a win
- the language (dub, flow, dangle, snipe, celly, bender, plug, duster, etc.)
- everything

Skates scraping the ice sound infinitely more cool the squeaky sneakers on a basketball court.
