Hockey is a sport that sounds great live, whether it's skates carving up ice and creating a shower of frost, sticks clattering together as two skaters chase a puck, or the powerful crunch of a well-timed check that sends its recipient slamming into the glass. And no matter whether you're seat is next to the boards or way up in the nosebleeds, there's one unmistakable noise that every hockey fan can hear clearly: the sound of a well-taken slap shot pinging off the post and into the back of the net.
