Ice Hockey Opinions....
Hello,
What does everyone think of Hockey and the NHL. I am the greatest fan (although I am Canadian) I am born, raised and live in Antigua, West Indies. But still it is such a good game with excitement. I dont think many people in the US like it???? The Olympics really helped to open it up I think. Congratulations Detroit!!! Although my team is Toronto and Montreal!!!! |

I grew up in a hockey area, but never really got into it. My hometown today has an indoor year-round rink for the high school team, which has been state champion recently. I like the concept and I have watched some of the playoffs, but I find the ritual fighting so idiotic that it turned me off completely. My favorite professional sport to watch is basketball, which in some ways is similar to hockey with its speed and flow.

I played as a kid, that was back in the 60's also in high school. I played hockey in Japan too, in the 90's. These days I just follow it a little, given were I live, it not available on the TV much. They do play hockey here though, I'm just way to out of share to play these days. Red Wings are my team.
Interesting thing, I can only skate with hockey skates, those figure skates mess me up. |
