Firstly, people ought to know that the temperature is usually chilly because of the ice surface on the playing ground but its ever that cold for one to wear heavy outfits. With this in mind, one can rock a comfortable outwear that is presentable but also not revealing as this is a sports arena and not a fashion show where everyone is seeking for attention.

In most cases, people that reserve seats that are on the edge and closer to the playing ground tend to be colder due to their nearness to the ice and the opposite happen when the distance is further. With people seating in these spots, heckling and jumping around is the best way to keep them active; hence, warm. Moreover, as a tradition, pucks that occasionally hit the fans are usually given to them as a way of compensating them.

During such a season, carrying a scarf is crucial in order to avoid catching cold or other cold-related ailments. People usually do not wear sunglasses as the matches mostly are indoors in arenas and happen at night.

In a means to support the team one is cheering, wearing a cap or a jersey is the way to go; conversely, one may opt to match their outfits with the colors that represent the team they are supporting.
