A lot of Anaheim Ducks fans reside in sunny SoCal, but there are many of us who don’t. There is certianlly both good and bad to being a long distance Ducks fan.
Here’s a fact that many of you may not know. While we are all dedicated Anaheim Ducks fans, most of the staff here at Pucks of a Feather is from out of state. We hail from places like Arizona, Boston, and even Canada. However, while we may be the majority here on the site, we are the minority in Ducks Nation.
During the regular season, while most Ducks fans can enjoy a game at Honda Center during any home game they want to attend, we have the opportunity to see our favorite team live an in person maybe once or twice a year if we’re lucky. The rest of the season, we get to watch from the comfort of our couches.
While watching a game from the comfort of your home can be rather enjoyable, especially this season, nothing compares to the experiance of being close to the ice. The sounds, smells, and feelings experianced within the walls of Honda Center are some of the most enthralling.
Living out of state, or out of country, is definetly difficult, that much is true. However, there are also some great benefits to residing outside of the Golden State. After discussing with the rest of the staff, we’ve come up with a list of pro’s and con’s to being a long distance Anaheim Ducks fan.
