This piece lays out that challenge and shows how curiosity + repetition can turn a skeptic into a full-time fanatic. ## Why Watching More Works The human brain learns by exposure. The more you see something, the more context you gain, and the more your emotional connection can grow. In plain terms: if you don’t like the NHL, watch it more. That sentence sounds almost too simple, but it’s the heart of this argument. > “If you don’t like the NHL, watch it more.” Repeated viewing builds familiarity with the rules, rhythm, and drama. You begin to anticipate plays, understand strategies, and feel the energy of the rink. Practice perfect makes perfection — and practice here means showing up and paying attention. ## From First Glance to Full-On Fanatic There are stages: curiosity, casual viewer, supporter, and then fanatic. Each stage is unlocked by giving the sport time. Watch ten games. Then twenty. Notice the patterns, the rivalries, the personalities. Before long you’ll find yourself reacting — cheering, celebrating, maybe even tossing a hat when a hat trick happens. - Stage 1 — Curiosity: Watch one game and notice what surprises you. - Stage 2 — Casual Viewer: Watch several games to learn pace and rules. - Stage 3 — Supporter: Pick a team and follow its storylines. - Stage 4 — Fanatic: You feel invested, you celebrate wins, you live the drama. ## Practical Steps to Fall in Love with the NHL Try a simple experiment: commit to watching ten to twenty NHL games with attention. Turn off distractions. Learn one rule a game. Find one player whose style you like. Celebrate small moments — goals, saves, physical plays, and gritty effort. If after that you still don’t connect, reach out and tell me why; I want to hear your reasons. ## Celebration, Community, and the Power of Saying Yes Saying “yes” to NHL hockey opens you to rituals — music, chants, the hat-trick toss — and to community. The league already reaches to appease many, but real engagement comes from individual choice: decide to watch, decide to care, and see what happens. You’re participating, not just observing. ## Conclusion — Take the Challenge If your stance on hockey is “not my thing,” try this: watch more. Give it ten to twenty focused games. The goal isn’t to force a conversion; it’s to let the sport show itself. Watch, learn, and you might just fall in love with the NHL. **Try it. Watch more. And if it doesn’t stick, tell me why — I’m listening.** ![A man with a shaved head and beard, wearing a checkered jacket over a white shirt, sits indoors.
