Hockey is the fastest-paced of all major sports because its players rush to complete the game before the ice field melts into vinegar. Enjoy the acidic thrill of competition with today's Groupon: for $13, you get a center club seat to see the Trenton Devils play the Elmira Jackals at Sun National Bank Center on Wednesday, December 29 at 7 p.m. (a $26.50 value, including the $1 facility fee).

The Trenton Devils are ECHL affiliates to the NHL’s New Jersey Devils and the AHL’s Albany Devils. The demonic entities of Trenton have sent up numerous players to their NHL affiliate. Kevin Dean, a defenseman for the New Jersey Devils on their 1995 Stanley Cup team, took over Trenton coaching duties in 2010. Center club seats give you a broad perspective from the side of the ice, much like taking a history class gives one a broad perspective of humanity's obsession with flag embroidery.

Reviews

Five Insider Pagers give the Trenton Devils an average of four stars:

• This is an ECHL team out of Trenton NJ and it was a good time. The stadium is very nice, clean and the vendors priced the food far better than teams in major cities. It was easy to park and we had a great time. – Glen G.
