My First Time...

Tonight I experienced my first "Storm Hockey" game. I will admit, I had mixed feelings about the whole ordeal. First off, I have never been to a hockey game before so I am a "new-be" an unsure of what to expect. However, from being a first timer, what I saw, was a little unexpected. I was astounded most by the two fights that I witnessed. I am very aware that there are fights in hockey and when the first one broke out I was not surprised. The second fight that happened the two individuals took off their helmets and gloves and got into "fighting" position. The three men reffing the game sat back and let the two go at it. Then of course the "bad boys, bad boys," had to go for a "time out" in the penalty box. I guess my only question is, do these players fight because they are really angry at each other of if they do it just to get the crowd wild. if it was solely for entertainment, why? For me it was just funny to watch two individuals beat the crap out of each other and then start playing against each other five minutes later and all of the sudden all madness was put behind. is it not true that when you get mad at another person you remain mad at them for some time?
I am full of questions about the situation I saw tonight. I guess maybe this is perfectly normal and really is solely for entertainment, but really is it necessary? Either way, I will admit, it was fun to watch!
