MEXICO CITY (MX) —

 

Hockey is back in the Ciudad de los Palacios. The Kings look to follow their deep run from season 84 by bringing home the hardware in season 85. GM Coleh has taken diligent steps to balance the defence and offense, while returning last year’s back-up goaltender Jeremy Swayman to take over G1 duties.

 

With all of the diligence paid on-ice and in the front office, the supporter section in Mexico City is making sure to bring the heat to visitors of El Palacio — sometimes literally.

 

Los Guardias Rojos (Red Guards) bring a unique experience to hockey in Mexico City. More raucous than any other fandom in the VHLM, Guardias Rojas post up behind the visitor’s zone, causing trouble for opposing goaltender’s in the first and third. Sometimes, Los Rojos will even occupy standing room in the visitor’s zone in the second period.

 

Vuvuzela blasts, stadium sing-alongs, pounding drums, and waving flags and banners are all a part of the Los Guardias Rojos experience. With big games, you can even catch Los Rojos with flares — safety concerns be damned.

 

If you have the chance, catch a gameday at El Palacio. You won’t be sorry!
