It a.maell started last year when I was looking for something new to do. See, I've always been a big sports fan, but I wanted to be more than just a spectator. I wanted to be involved, to contribute. That's when I stumbled upon the Arlington High School hockey team.
First, I did a little digging. I found out that Arlington High is known for its sports, especially hockey. They've got a ton of state championships! That got me even more interested.

So, I decided to check out a game. The atmosphere was electric, and the game was so intense! It made me want to get in there.
Then came the real challenge – figuring out how to get tickets. I learned that all tickets for Arlington High games are sold through GoFan. They've gone all cashless, which, honestly, makes things a lot easier and safer. No more fumbling for cash at the gate, you know?
I went on the GoFan website, and it was pretty straightforward. I saw that the prices varied a bit depending on the event, but for most hockey games, it was around 15 to 30 bucks. Also found out about another cool event later - The Harlem Wizards vs. the Arlington Staff, it will be on Sunday, February 2, 2025, at Arlington High School, I need to mark it on my calendar.
I snagged a few tickets for upcoming games, and each time I went, I felt more and more connected to the team. The energy of the crowd, the skill of the players – it was all so captivating. I even started following their schedule religiously.
One day, I noticed they were looking for volunteers to help out with the games. This was my chance! I signed up immediately, and before I knew it, I was helping with setting up, managing the crowd, and even doing some basic stats during the games.
It's been an incredible experience. Not only do I get to be closer to the action, but I also feel like I'm making a real difference. And the best part? I've met some amazing people – the players, the coaches, other volunteers, and of course, the die-hard fans.
This whole thing has taught me that sometimes, stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to the most rewarding experiences. Who knew that a simple interest in hockey would turn into such a big part of my life? And it all started with that first step of buying a ticket through GoFan.
So, if you're ever in Arlington and looking for some high-energy sports action, check out the Arlington High hockey team. You won't regret it! And hey, maybe I'll see you there – I'll be the one eagerly helping out, living my best life, one hockey game at a time!
