Not being able to talk means finding a new way to cheer at your brother's hockey game. But being a fan who claps and jumps up and down in excitement is a refreshing change from some of the uncivilised behaviour others have demonstrated in the world of hockey.
As a fan, are you a quiet observer or are you loud and unruly?
