Hockey is a sport that some of you may don't know even know? Its popular in some Europe countries and in some parts of USA. The National Hockey League (NHL) has most of it's teams in the USA. In Canada obviously, its the National Sport. The weather is so cold, Im not surprised. I absolutly love hockey, its a physical sport where you can admire players skills, speed, etc.

    All Hockey Moms know about hockey. It's the #1 sport in my house. I have a husband, a son and a daughter that play. Super Bowl? What Super Bowl? Now Stanley Cup, I know.

    I was never a big Hockey fan but I have to admit I sort of follow it a bit now. I went to see the Edmonton Oilers play last year at the Rexall stadium and the atmosphere was electrifying. Beer was a bit pricey though at $8 a pop. Spent sixty dollars just on beer.

    Yes I do mean ice hockey and yes its fun. You are skating and you have a stick and a puck, how cool is that. Watching hockey is also pretty fun, you guys should TRY ATLEAST. You will be satisfied OR MONEY BACK GUARANTEE ( HAHA!).

            I also love hockey. My son is playing in his first year (Tyke) of competitive rep hockey and it's a lot of fun. I even started a blog about hockey for Dr.Mani's 10 days challenge.

                I used to play a lot of pond hockey as a kid. It's a fun sport. It's weird too. You play it on freaking ice skates! It's like the platypus of sports. Hockey's a lot of fun though.

    The only thing I don't like about ice hockey is the fighting. Well, personally it doesn't bother me. One thing I noticed at my ever first live game was the amount of little kids go to watch their idols with their dads. Surly, two adults punching the living sh.t out of each other can't be a good example for kids. The game is better of without the violence anyway.

      You are aware that fighting is what brings a lot of fans to games?!?!? Plus they are some of the most exciting parts of the game.

        I went to a boxing match recently...

        ... and a hockey game broke out.

      Come on, fighting is entertaining. I know it's a bit harsh but I mean, some players are paid for fighting. They are paid to fight because they are tough but not enough good at hockey. I think Ice Hockey is insanely underrated. It's such a great sport but only Northern countries play hockey.

    Nope. Not even a little.

    Someone gave me 3 tickets to see the Rangers and Penguins (back in the 90s) somewhere around center ice,not far from the glass - and I immediately gave them away.

      I like hockey. My Grandson plays (scored TWO double hat tricks in a tournament two weeks ago) with a highly competitive young team.

      I'm the same about most sports - if someone I know plays it makes the game interesting (except I don't like football much at all).

      For me, I like any sport involving horses.

    Try taking megadoses of niacin, then watch a hockey game. It is quite something else -- under the influence of niacin, you'll notice more of what's involved in playing hockey. I once did that in the hopes that niacin would help an allergy problem (it didn't).

      I think ice hockey is insanely underrated. I'm still in shock as to why it's not popular yet. It's very popular but I mean, it should be more wordwide. It already is but I thought it would equal soccer in terms of popularity worldwide. The problem is that it's not every country that has cold weather. There is a hockey team in florida but they can afford to have rinks and stuff... Anyways, this sport is so entertaining it's not possible.

      As a Leafs fan, it pains me to agree.

      Tomorrow's going to be great, btw. Even on a bad day, the crappiest of Leaf teams always seem to put up a good fight against the hated Habs.

      Gotta admit though...I rooted for them during the playoffs last year.

      P.S. There is no "ice hockey". There is only "hockey" and "hockey that isn't played on ice", LOL.
