Different from home ice advantage. Some teams and fans travel strong. This way we have only anecdotal information on whether a player feels they were boosted by fan support. We know in American Football that certain teams at home have a dire effect on the opposition and their ability to communicate plays. This though is all whether fans being loud helps a team play better. I don’t know, but I’m encouraged in things I do when my friends help to affirm that. But does it make me do better? That I can’t really say, I just feel better about doing it.”</span></span>
