Today, I was at the Kings Avalanche game in Denver. Anže Kopitar scored a hat trick and people threw hats in. Someone ripped my own hat off my head and tossed it on the ice. It was a gift from my dead grandparents with my name stitched onto it. I’ve had it for 15 years. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at a professional hockey game. I wasn't paying attention and a puck was shot into the stands and hit me in the face. My mouth was bleeding and I lost two teeth. As I was trying to cough up my teeth the old man next to me shoved me over and stole the puck. Everyone cheered. FML
Today, I went to a hockey game. While warm-ups were happening, my favourite player pointed at me and tossed me a puck. It bounced off my hand into another girl's, who was a fan of the other team. She refused to give it back, then walked away and said, "I can't wait to sell this on eBay." FML
Today, my grandma and I were watching the Ranger's playoff game. As Henrik Lundqvist received a standing ovation from the crowd after blocking 38 shots, she says to me, "Check out his equipment!" My 80-year old grandma just commented on Henrik Lundqvist's package. FML
Today, I went to an amateur baseball game with some family and friends. When our team hit a home run, my grandpa took it upon himself to start screaming wildly, removing his prosthetic leg and waving it jubilantly in the air. FML
Today, I received in the mail a hockey puck autographed by recent hall of fame addition Steve Yzerman. When asked, I had to explain to my 4 year old brother that someone famous had written his name on it. Later, I discovered that my brother decided it needed his name on it too. FML
Today, my dad walked in to the arena where I was watching a hockey game with my boyfriend and his friends. My dad was wearing a crazy grey mohawk wig/hat. Meanwhile, my boyfriend just finished telling me how embarassing it would be to be that guy's kid. FML
Today, I went to a baseball game. It was windy, so I decided to get my hat from the car trunk. When I opened it and reached in, loose papers started flying everywhere. Panicked, my dad slammed the trunk shut on my fingers. Entering the stadium, I discovered it was free hat day. FML
Today, I went down to my grandparents' house to spend some time with them. I was in the guest room when I noticed a box in the corner of the closet labelled "Crap". I opened up the box to see my Dad's John Elway Autographed Football in it. I got it for him for Christmas, it cost me $600. FML
Today, I went off-roading with a group of people. I'd been to wearing a $250 hat while my brother was driving at least 60mph in the dirt, it flew off my head. When I returned to go retrieve it, someone had taken it. FML
Today, I had a snowball fight with a friend. In the midst of the game, I stole her hat and put it on my head, ignoring her pleas. Apparently, she was trying to say she had head lice. I can now verify that. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If anyone at that game is reading this, please help in the search for a hat with "Clorpy" on it.

Go to the lost and found after the game and get your hat back. A better plan is to become a fan of the Florida Panthers. When a player gets 3 goals, they throw rubber rats on the ice! Hopefully, your grandparents didn’t give you a special rubber rat.

No, they throw hats. The rubber rats are for victories.

So turn to the asshat that took your hat, and throw their wig into the ice.

At least your hat will be easy to find since your name is on it. Not like the twenty gym towels with no name at my gym's lost and found.

Fyl Op but Wearing important stuff like that to sports game where people are prone to doing dumb shit is a bad idea. Stuff that means that much to you is probably best left not worn in public.

Wrong. People are prone to do dumb shit almost anywhere. That's like not wearing a wedding ring because you fear someone will take it off and throw it. We should feel comfortable enough to do what we want without a stranger touching us. People are not entitled to put their hands on anybody or anybody's belongings. I hope OP finds his hat.

Yeah, people act dumb at sporting events, but stealing someone's hat to throw on the ice after a hat trick is utterly douchey. Either bring a hat to throw in case it happens or just cheer for your team. But don't snatch a stranger's hat from his/her head and throw it. Sheesh. OP, hopefully you went to lost and found and were able to get your hat back. If the Kings do a hat trick wall (some teams do, although I don't remember seeing one when I was at Staples Center a couple of years ago), you might also be able to get your hat from there.

No.Full stop You’re wrong stupid shit is bound to happen anywhere but increased likelihood at sporting &events concerts. That’s what the person did right now but if it’s that important and you don’t need to have it on you leave it at home

So now we have to make sure we dont bring ANYTHING we don't want to lose because someone may act like an asshole? I would have had him arrested, and you're the delusional one.

I hope you toss this asshat onto the ice.

Probably a bit late now but for future reference I'm pretty sure they let you get your hats back after the game.

people who are saying check the lost and found: they donate the hats after the game, they don't go to the lost and found. I used to work for a few nhl teams and all the ones I worked for did this.

The Caps and the Flyers (yes, I have braved the hostile confines of Wells Fargo Center) have hat trick walls where they display the hats thrown after players scored them. So some hats go there.

Idk why you’d wear that to a game where throwing hats is a thing, but what that guy did was not right. He had no right to touch you or your property, and I’m sure you could report him for theft.
