  • i.. linian features Blood on the Ice: Hockey Hits Asheville By Phoebe Esmon Features Editor ASHEVILLE—As one who has made a point of learning as little as humanly possible about sports and sporting events, I must say that the coming of the Asheville Smoke did little for me. Our sports editor was excited, though. So was my husband. I remember the day clearly. We were driving home from an edifying tour of the Grove Arcade. I was pontificating about the vast number of possibilities the place held, when he turned to me and said, "Alright! Did you hear what that guy said about the new Hockey Team??? I love Hockey!" I looked at him out of the corner of my eye. I have to admit that I was shocked. I mean, despite the fact that both my father and brother are sports junkies, and my grandparents have the all golf network, I have managed to live a life free of ESPN. "You do?!?" "Oh Yeah!" A salacious grin spread across his features. "They get into these incredible fights. I mean they hammer on each other!" He was bouncing up and down by this point, swing his fists at imaginary helmet clad opponents. "It's AWE SOME!!" "You mean you go to Hockey Matches just for the fights?" "Hell Yeah! Well.. .1 mean.. .not exactly." "So why don't you just watch wrestling or boxing? They beat each other up with out any of that bothersome passing of the puck?" "But they're not on ice." "No. They're not. And they don't have big sticks either." He shook his head at me. "You just have to experience it to understand." So when I learned that the Smoke would be playing the week of our annual Halloween issue, I figured what better way to get all the blood and guts anybody could ever want, in a legalized, non-nightmare causing way? I'll cover the Hockey Match! The night of Saturday, October 24, was a cold one. The Asheville civic center was awash with people. As we walked in, I noticed a large group of people milling around outside of Thomas Wolf, who looked a little bit dressed up for the occasion. I had been instructed to wear jeans and something warm, because it was always cold at hockey matches. There were people in miniskirts. I snickered. "Ha! I bet she's gonna Bill Thompson County Commissioner District 3 • Education at Western Carolina with a Masters of Business Administration • 15 Year Successful Business Owner- Network/Computer Services • Responsible Leadership for Jackson County • Will Serve ALL the People feel a draft." It was not, of course, until I actually got inside the civic center that I realized that those people weren't going to the hockey match. The Platters were playing next door. As we walked into the match, we were immediately accosted by young men hawking programs. "Get your ASHEVILLE SMOKE PROGRAM right here!!!!" We bought one. As someone attending their first professional sporting event, I felt that it was important to at least come to a rudimentary understanding of what was about to take place. However, after standing in line for 20 minutes to get a soft pretzel, some nachos, and a coke, we had to race to our seats, and I had no time to figure out what was going on. After a stirring rendition of the national anthem, performed by the current Miss Asheville, the game got underway. They hadn't been playing for two minutes before one of the other guys was curled up in a fetal position on the ice, unable to get up. A pool of blood spread around him on the ice. After they got him out, one of his teammates came along and, using the blade of his skate, scraped the quickly coagulat ing sludge into the corner. There ensued a series elbowings, throttlings, and almost- brawlings, guaranteed to make even the strong of heart a little weak. My husband loved it. Every time it looked like there might be a conflagration, he, and just about everyone else in the civic center, was on his feet. They waved their arms, and yelled and screamed at the top of their lungs, only to drop into their seats disappointed when the ref broke up the fight before it really got going. And there, in the midst of all the yelling and clamoring (and the wave- they did the wave A LOT), I suddenly realized that Rome has not fallen! Even today we have our rituals of blood shed and sudden death. It's just that now we do it on ice, with sticks. I believe that we may try the hockey matches once or twice more. I mean, sure, they fight and kick and curse at each other, and in some ways it really is no better than Wrestling (although I understand that when a hockey player gets hurt, he really bleeds), but these guys do it with such grace. And besides, it was fun, scary, and I didn't have nightmares afterwards.
