And how would that make hockey more exciting? Do you really think if anyone stops texting or calling, that hockey will be more exciting for the the person beside them?
OP would have a legitimate point about suits and corporations buying too many seats in some arenas.(Toronto) Thus taking away seats from the diehard fans.
LOL phonecalls maybe but maybe watch the game and not the fans and you'll be more excited by the game.
Meh, seems to me the OP has a bigger problem with not paying attention than those with the phones, as he's too busy looking for those on phones instead of the game in front of him.

I like this idea.
To enforce the rule, they should sound the goal horn every time a lower bowl fan picks up their phone. Talk about excitement!

But the OP also started a thread to get rid of said horns, so that would be a no go...

Well the goal horn thread he said they were boring and could be replaced with something else. So instead of a horn play a generic text message ringtone throughout the arena
If your able to be so easily distracted form the hockey game then maybe the problem is the game itself(or you) and not the guy texting beside you.

He also suggested that instead of goal horns, have the entire arena go dark and have a flashing light on the opposing goalie. It would add to the fun of humiliating the opposing goalie if just beyond the blinding flashing light, he saw the eerie faces of hundreds of fans faintly illuminated by their smartphones.
I also just noticed the OP also started the midfielder thread...wanting to create a new position on the ice called a midfielder that has new responsibilities that no other position has, even though his description of the position is exactly that of what a center already does.
I think we've learned a lot about the OP from these three threads.
I think instead of the suggested changes, the OP should concentrate on the game itself as not watching the game whilst looking for those on phones has really limited his understanding of the sport in general.
Probably spending too much time on his own phone.

Sounds like someone was a victim of being the deer in headlights person in the background of a public Seflie.

Bigger celebrations after goals. Fireworks and a live band just going nuts.
More ice girls, wearing less.

Sure, at the same time let's scale the league back to 6-8 teams and move those teams into arenas that seat about 8,000 people. Because you'd be effectively banning all but die-hard fans from NHL rinks. Look for big player salary cuts too, since most of the casual fans who mess around on their phones at games are also the richer ones who can afford to pay more for tickets.

If you really want to make the atmosphere louder and more fiesty - free alcohol. Beginning and end of the discussion.
