A brisk chill hits us as the doors opened and we took our first steps into the arena. Accompanying the chill was an almost tangible electricity that flowed into, and out of, each person that walked through the doors. Tonight was hockey night and every fan, every player, and every coach could feel it. It was our first time visiting the Peaks Ice Arena, and the first hockey game that my kids had seen in person. It is only fitting that as tremendous BYU fans the kids experienced their first game with the BYU Cougars hockey team.
Once known as the Provo Ice Cats, the Cougars now wear their name proudly as they represent the school, their families, and themselves on the ice.
