Putting together hockey game outfits needs to be about a lot more than just style. It can be confusing because of the temperature difference inside and outside the arena.
Although the large and rowdy crowd makes the environment pretty hot, you still may feel the chill creeping in. And the closer you are to the ice, the colder you will feel!
Therefore, the best way to tackle this issue is by blending your summer and winter wardrobe. You might want to wear thick socks and warm boots; so you do not end up gloomy and miserable while watching the game.
