Braden's Hockey Travels

My name is Braden Cloutier, and in recent years I have made it my goal to get to at least one NHL arena that I have never been to before during each NHL season. I have managed to visit seven now, and plan on visiting more. Here you can learn about my experiences at these places, as well as my opinions on them. They are listed in the order in which I visited them.
