Ice Hockey.

You'd be pretty hard-pressed to find a more entertaining sport.

Lacrosse is the only sport that's more entertaining than ice hockey.

Bring back ESPN National Hockey Night NOW.

Going to an Admirals game tomorrow night. Hockey's great.

I hate it when it's referred to as "ice hockey". Just like when toques are called hats, and when maple syrup is called tree spit.

This topic is 100% correct.

***Booyakasha*** · 04-23-2008, 10:38 PM

Admirals beat the Wolves, 2-0. Hell yeah.

Then what's Roller Hockey (something I played and enjoyed as a kid)? -CSM

That's roller hockey (or ball hockey, or in-line skate hockey). By default, hockey is played on ice; there is no confusion when you do not state a surface. I assume it is used because some Americans are unfamiliar with ice and its material properties.

It's like saying "I have a car", and they stare blankly at you until you say "I have a street car". Because, you know, you could've had a race car or an RC car.

I like to ride water boats.
