Dallas Cowboys star Trevon Diggs had a lot of fun at his first hockey game. /

Dallas Cowboys star cornerback Trevon Diggs took in his first hockey game last week and it's safe to say it probably won't be his last, as he had a blast watching the Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars battle in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

Diggs was mic'd up for the game while sitting in the front row with his trainer. He quickly learned there are three 20-minute periods in a hockey game and joked that nobody in the NFL could play in the NHL.

While Diggs didn't get to see the home team get a win (Dallas lost 3-2 in overtime) he had a heck of a time cheering them on. This video is great:

I love other pro athletes going to an NHL game for the first time and seeing how hyped they get https://t.co/98JX0QZ6Cb

Watching professional athletes from other sports discover hockey is one of my favorite things in life. https://t.co/mFJSH5XzBP

I kid you not, nearly every time I’ve taken a non-hockey fan to a Stars game, invariably they say “I get it now” before night’s end. Such a joy to see someone realize how great the sport is! https://t.co/ApgCZx3osI

Diggs is everyone at their first NHL game.

You’d excitement and confidence grows throughout and by the 3rd period, you’re in it in it 😂 https://t.co/fK4tZAN1j0

This is the best thing I’ve seen all day. “How many periods is it??” … “yeah I’m gonna need #27 back on defense, I need his jersey”… hilarious https://t.co/WilkbeO57e

The way Tre is connecting hockey to football terminology has me dying 😂 https://t.co/qtd1frSckC
