Yes it's a hockey board but if you can post your best fans team ever,I would love to see them.

My favorite of all time are Team Hungry fans at the 2016 INTERNATIONAL ICE HOCKEY FEDERATION even after a loss and after every game they were pure gold.

Latvian hockey fans. Loud, happy and boisterous, even when their team is getting hammered, which is most of the time.

In Switzerland, hockey fans are exactly like in soccer... Same chanting, same choreography... And unfortunately, sometimes (much less than in the past) same fighting...

This is what people who crap on the World Hockey Championships and on having "lesser" teams participate in tourneys don't understand.

It's stupid easy to cheer for a good team or a top 3 team or whatever. It's stupid easy to cheer for Canada's National Men's Ice Hockey Team. Stupid easy. You don't have to feel much stress if any at all. You just go and get to cheer and say yay we're the best!

That's not being a good fan. That's just being a fan.

You know what's hard? Being a fan of a team that might not score a single goal in the whole tournament - the Hungarians, the Latvians, the Danes etc... they're not only fans, they're super fans.. they throw every possible thing they can behind their national teams to will them on. They sing, they dance, they make banners, they TRAVEL huge distances together! To see a team that will be desperate to scrape by. It's a community: of fans, and of players. That is a beautiful thing to see and in my opinion, makes these tournaments incredibly special to see these little communities come in and out, seeing how they fare, and eventually grow and evolve.

Canadians (and to a lesser extent Americans) don't understand this. Just look at Canada's support for our other national teams (soccer, baseball, baseketball)... we don't travel or support like the Hungarians do in Ice Hockey (as an example). Why bother, we say, we suck anyways..let us know when the team will win.

Canadians are easy fans.

There are a lot of loud fans on int stage. Slovaks, latvians and swiss fans are very good. Czech team also gets massive support at home or during WHC in Vienna.

Hungarian fans came to mind. Latvians obviously, the Czechs during the 2015 WHC were great. The Russians put on a great event this year.

I enjoy the WHC, I'll wake up at whatever time to watch the games. Fun tournament.

Finns definitely get bonus points for traveling wherever for whatever event.

Americans just don't get into international sports outside of the Olympics. It's just irrelevant to them and their sporting culture. At the olympics half the people are cheering for Usain Bolt and Ebisa Ejigu anyway.

Very hard insult to Latvian and Danish national team... Not score a single goal...
