Descriptive Post

     Your lungs fill with brisk, dence air. An eery silence is present in a place known for echoing cheers and boos. The glossy white surface seems innocent but one must be skilled to maneuver across it. The white plane is then shredded with steel blades and it's once noticeable bold, dark blue, red and circular lines are reduced to a faint outline. Banners are hung high on the walls and rafters. Plexiglas keeps the slick surface at bay aided by thick plastic boards. Amateurs become professionals here and Detroit is known for being a leader in the sport. If you haven't noticed yet you are sitting in the bleachers of an ice rink were the breathtaking sport of hockey is played.
