You Know It Is Ice Hockey Season in HK When You See This
September 19, 2016
Fuh, tajuk.
This is a common view, seriously ever year. Since my flat is just less than 5 minutes away from the train station, I always have chance to witness this 'parade'. Haha parade la sangat.
And usually, it is the team from Pardubice. :) I'm not sure what exactly happen between these two ice hockey fans. Haha.
Lawan Pardubice je, emosi betul nampaknya.
Kalau kalah, lagi lah emosi.

Can you see the police cars and vans? Yes, they escorted the visitor's fans all the way from train station to the stadium. It is quite far actually and I bet it caused traffic as well. :p If you happened to be around this group of people, they are just okay (so far). There was one time, I witnessed HK fans being the one who started provoking on the road. Isolated case I guess.
I wish we, the world people have better sportsmanship :)
I shared experiences watching ice hockey match in this blog before. You can read how ice hockey looks like in HK and how we appeared on national TV that show live match. Haha.
Have not have the chance to watch any football match yet, maybe I can put this into final year bucketlist. :)

Ice Hockey

Ini kali kedua saya tonton ice hockey match kat stadium. Perlawanan sebenarnya dah start dari bulan Disember lepas, tapi memanjang busy nak exam masa tu. Postpone punya postpone, sampailah masuk Februari. :p
Ada lagi 2 match untuk team Hradec Kralove sebelum habis season ni rasanya :D Dan sekarang di rank ke-4. Not bad :)
 |
| Ranking. |
Saya pernah berkongsi serba sedikit pasal ice hockey dalam post tahun lepas. Tapi tu memang roughly je, nak cerita banyak pun saya sendiri tak tahu sangat pasal tu. :)
 |
| Game bermula. |
1. Tiket boleh dibeli online. Kalau match yang kat HK, boleh beli kat Mounthfield HK. Harganya bergantung pada seat tu kat mana. Simple rule - lagi best view, lagi bertambah harga tiket. Hehe. You may expect other people to sit on your seat, but as long as you have the ticket - just tell them :)
2. Stadium kat HK ni boleh kata ada dua tingkat dan ini kali pertama saya pilih seat yang belah atas. Dapat lah merasa intai-intai macam mana reporters / media buat liputan / live update. Berderet laptop dan modem Internet, kamera pun sama. And surprisingly, ada playground area jugak kat dalam stadium. Ini untuk budak-budak main sementara parents tengok match. Ada volunteers yang jaga ruang ni.
 |
| After offside, I think. |
3. Untuk ice hockey match ni, apa yang saya dapat ringkaskan ialah match terbahagi pada 3 set (20 minit setiap satu), dan between sets tu ada 18-minutes-break. Masa break ni lah, korang boleh expect hampir semua seat kosong. Kenapa?
Yang pertama, mestilah ke tandas. Sebab lain ialah masa ni penonton boleh pergi beli makanan, minuman yang dijual kat belah bawah stadium. Cuma, memang lumrah orang Czech, tengok match sambil minum beer. Beer sana beer sini. T_T
 |
| Cars on the rink! :D |
Masa break jugak ada few commercial break - kereta, gimnastik etc. Saya pulak ambil kesempatan ni untuk buat stadium tour. Ada satu part menarik bila saya nampak sebahagian penyokong pihak lawan terasing dari penyokong lain, dan diorang siap ada tangga sendiri untuk ke seat diorang, if I'm not mistaken.
Mungkin nak elakkan perbalahan apa-apa kalau ada provokasi kot.
Dan mungkin sebahagian jugak, sebab saya ada je nampak penyokong pihak lawan kat area seat saya jugak :)
Oh ye, sementara tengah jalan-jalan stadium, dapat bergambar dengan maskot team HK. Oh yeah. :D

Dan....bukan rezeki saya jugak bila datang kali kedua, HK kalah jugak T_T. Tahun lepas, HK kalah kepada Sparta Praha, dan kali ni HK kalah kepada Mlada Boleslav. Haha.
 |
| Extra 5 minutes. |
4. Habis set ke-3, rehat beberapa minit sebelum sambung terus dengan masa tambahan. Diberi dalam 5 minit macam tu. Kalau masih seri, sambung dengan 'sepakan penalti'. Tapi 'sepakan penalti' style ice hockey lah hihi. Bola hoki tu diletakkan di tengah court, pastu seorang pemain akan bawak bola sampai ke gol dan cuba jaringkan. Kira pemain tu bergerak lah, kalau dalam bola sepak, lebih statik kan?
HK kalah penalti masa ni.
Ni compilation videos yang saya rekod.
Saya tak reti buat/edit video, anyway. :p
Things I learned from the match;-
1. Walau penuh dengan cabaran mental, kuatkan semangat.
Memang nampak perbezaan sokongan pada tuan rumah dengan pihak lawan. Contohnya, cheer untuk HK memang bergema satu stadium tapi nothing untuk opposite team. Dan even, penyokong akan buat bunyi ala-ala wisel setiap kali pemain pihak lawan nak bawak bola.
That's torturing, if I'm in their place.
Dan saya tak berkesempatan nak record any goals. Cuma kelakar bila pihak lawan dapat masukkan gol, it feels like nothing happen! Takde replay sangat, takde annoucement sangat. Tapi.....kalau tuan rumah menang, amboi, sampai gelapkan stadium dan pancaran lampu warna warni atas ice rink ;p
2. Kalah menang, adat perlawanan.
Walaupun HK kalah, takde istilah nak mengamuk tak puas hati etc. Majoriti keluar stadium dengan segera (sedih tu memang nampaklah jugak kat wajah diorang tu). Takde masa nak baling-baling botol air, mercun apatah lagi. Semua botol, bekas air baling dalam tong sampah.
3. Tabik spring pada pengawal.
Keliling ice rink, memang ramai orang yang pakai vest oren - macam penjaga penonton dan diorang lah yang akan jadi saksi utama kalau ada apa-apa jadi. Tugas diorang ialah membelakangkan ice rink dan pandang penonton je. Ada pengawal yang memang tak pandang langsung ice rink walaupun gol, ada yang usha-usha sikit. ada yang siap bersembang sakan dengan penonton lain. Haha.
4. Hormat orang lain.
Kalau perlawanan tengah berlangsung, it is a bit rude kalau korang nak lalu depan penonton lain untuk ke seat korang. So, setiap kali break, make sure pergi semula ke seat sebelum game bermula. Ataupun tunggu masa kat skrin freeze - contoh macam waktu offside etc.
Okaylah, jumpa di post seterusnya.
Assalamualaikum

Live Ice Hockey in Czech
December 14, 2014
It is already season for ice skating :) I am not a good skater though. So far staying in Czech, I just tried ice skating once. Here, you need to give money / something valuable as deposit for renting the shoes. But, in my town, they don't rent the shoes T_T
Well, in Malaysia too, people have the other alternative to go ice skating which is the new IceScape IOI City Mall. The ice rink looks fabulous and way better than the one in Sunway Pyramid (during my time going there). I wish there will be an ice rink in Perak soon. Hee. :)
Looking at all ice hockey lines on the ice rink reminds me of my experience watching an ice hockey match here in Hradec Kralove, Czech; just a few days back.

7th December 2014.
It was a memorable first hand experience, sitting in front of ice rink with cold temperature. I always wish to watch any games since I arrived here, but I missed them since 2011.This was only after 3 years! Yeay. :D
The match was between Mountfield Hradec Kralove (MHK) and Sparta Praha in which the latter is higher in rank. It was a league match; till now Sparta is in the 3rd rank, while MHK is in the 8th place. I already knew that Sparta Praha is a strong team; actually when doing physical examination on patients at the hospital. T__T Well, you can know more facts about Czech itself while chatting with patients.
One interesting fact about the match was that our doctor (also as lecturer) said he saw us on the television! He is an ice-hockey-fan; while having a break from his night duty, he watched the match live on the tv. And he said he saw 4 Malaysian girls! For sure, personally, he didn't recognized any of us like the name and so on. But, I guess, we are the only one wearing the hijab and that is sort of our identity. :)

Guess where were we? Hihi ;) p/s - zive means live.

By the way, my friend put the memories into this video :) Watch it guys, maybe you can have general idea of how ice hockey game looks like and how are the reaction of the supporters. <3
Since ice hockey is not familiar to me and I guess, most of Malaysians; so, let me share with you something I read from Wikipedia and others :)
1. Directly from the name itself, ice hockey is a game played on ice; basically by 6 players (including goaltender) from each team - they will try to shoot a hockey puck into the opponent's goal.
2. It is called the fastest game on Earth; due to its fast-pace.
3. The first time when ice hockey is played in Olympics is in the year of 1920.
4. 7 countries which predominate the international competitions; Canada, Czech Republic, Russia, Finland, Slovakia, Sweden, USA.
5. It is a full allowed body contact sport! So, we can expect many injuries and fight :p That's why all players need to wear lots of protective equipment.
6. To be an ice hockey player, absolutely you need to know skating awesomely well! So that you can turn around and move faster on ice.
7. Crowds cheering for their teams with some beers in hand. T_T they can be emotional too.
Looking forward for more winter games soon :D (even though I have no skills of snowboarding, skiing and so on. haha)
Till then,
Assalamualaikum and bye!
