A reading from a decibel meter inside the rink showed noise levels of 96.3 decibels which, according to Hearing Education and Awareness for Rockers (or HEAR, for short) is equal to the sound a subway train makes from about 60 metres away.

School board spokesperson Marnie Jadon says there were 4,264 students from 29 Hamilton schools at the game today.

No doubt they were stoked to get the field trip.
