Yes.  I play hockey and the funny thing is, we don't care if you like our sport.  Yes, there are "black ppl" in hockey.  There aren't that many because not many want to play.  When "black ppl" show up to play, they're welcomed with open arms, unlike other sports (golf, baseball, etc).  When you talk about how we "smack a black plastic thing with a stick", first of all, it's vulcanized rubber, moron.  Secondly, any sport can be reduced to that type of description.\n\nFootball: "they just run around with a leather oval"\nBaseball:  "they just try to hit a ball with a stick"\nBasketball:"they just try to put a ball in a hoop"\n\nNothing personal, but hey, you bashed my sport.

my permananent residence is CT. all the kids at my high school went to enfield high to play hockey (no team at our school) that was a couple years ago so i dont know any current players. i think, considering it is may, there arent many teams still playing.

I just started watching them last year.  I live in NY.  Everyone says I should like the Rangers.  I always thought in my mind, it really doesn't have to be where you live.  I just like the Oilers.  (Edmonton)

No 2 line pass good.\nSmaller pads great\nGoalies not being able to handle puck.   bad\nI like the rough play so the clutch grab is where most of my fav. players made a living. I like the enforcers and the fights. Not Sorry about it. Give me a good Goon game and I am happy. I don't like the euro no check leagues.

I don't think so, but I've heard that because of what happened last season, there isn't as much interest in hockey this season. Of course, for true hockey fans, it will still be fun and exciting.

i am more than thankful for hockey..it has become a way of life for so many peole, including me. Not only does it help to keep you in great shape, but you also make new friends. I know here in this part of the u.s., there arent many girls that play hockey, let alone hockey at all! so when peole ask me what i play, and i say hockey, it makes me feel unique, just as every hockey player should feel. Pretty much anyone can say they play soccer..but when you say you play or are interested in hockey, it probably means ur priveledged, and your smart enough to see that hockey really is THE best sport EVER!!!!!!!! Plus, it just helps to keep my mind off things, and now i know what i want to do or work around in life (hockey). Also its a great topic to have arguements over whther your at a game sitting next to the opposing teams fan or your just talking about whose the better player Crosby or Ovechkin? lol i know that question is old..but all im trying to say is HOCKEY ROCKS AND IT BEATS THE REST!!!!!!

Well, I'm a Sharks fan, and I always enjoy watching any kind of hockey game, especially inside the division games. I would watch the Kings only for Anze Kopitar, because he'll be a big name in the future. So yeah, I guess I'd watch any game that's on tv.

Sounds GREAT! And we can do it, too! Ottawa is on the ropes awaiting the knockout punch -- and it's coming! Carolina is likely next and we can and will destroy them too! The Stanley Cup Finals will be a mismatch as we can skate with and crush ANY of the Western Conference teams. The beauty of the 2005-06 (and beyond) Buffalo Sabres is that the combination of youth, speed, skill and work ethic is unrivaled in the NHL. This is the winning formula and it means the long-suffering fans of Buffalo are about to experience euphoria when our proud Sabres bring home the Cup!\n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!!\n\nP.S. Does anything top loser Leafs fans trying to mock our successful Sabres when their embarrassment of a team is out on the links? ;)

I think it really depends on the area where you live.  In southern or western states, people might ask "What's Hockey?"  But in Minnesota, Michigan or the Northeast (NY, Boston, etc.), you have a higher percentage of fans, because the sport has more appeal there, due mainly to the fact that Hockey has it's U.S. roots in those regions (the first NHL teams started there, lots of college and NHL championship history, cold weather, etc.).\n\nI know hockey appeals to me because of the fast-paced, exciting nature of the sport.  Many guys like it because it's the only sport where players can get in fistfights and not be suspended.\n\nBut for the answer why guys become obsessed with any sport?  I'd probably say it's the competitive nature of guys.  We tend to make everything a life-or-death competitition.  Playground basketball. Bowling. Darts. Poker. The specific sport/activity varies from guy to guy, but many of us are like this.  So it's not just Hockey...  it just happens to be Hockey for the guys you know.\n\nHope that helps!

Fairbanks, Alaska! I used to live there. Hockey was HUGE, as was skiing, skijoring, ice skating, snow shoe softball (my personal favorite), and the like.
