On Saturday we went and saw a grand final ice hockey match - Martigny Red Ice vs EHC Winterthur. The venue which was filled to the brim with revellers - naturally majority of them were going for Martigny since it was their home turf. In Switzerland, it seems that they take their sport cheering very seriously. A large group of seasoned supporters wave homemade flags and chant in unison constantly throughout the game. There's even a 'conductor' to keep the chanting in time. It's hard not to get swept up in all of the excitement.
Everyone was there to have fun, watch the game, drink beer and support their team. It had a great atmosphere and it was exciting to see such support for a small town hockey team. Martigny beat Winterthur 3-0 which set the crowd off in ecstatic cheering, clapping and chanting. It was a great night!
