Oil Kings Game info.

Hi there, me and my girlfriend will be attend our very first Hockey game (not Canadian so... no Hockey in Italy!) nontheless. On the ticket says that start at 7.00pm, is it like for concerts that is 7 pm, but then in reality is more 8/9 pm ?

Or at 7 pm there's the kick off ?

P.S. Don't hate us for going to an Oil Kings game instead of Oilers, Oilers game are waaaay too expensive for us :(

EDIT :

It was a great game, great sport. Too bad that in Italy is all about soccer :(
