this is stupid. I know your talking about ICE hockey, so why not stick the ICE in before the HOCKEY. i mean its not hard is it? especially since HOCKEY as a sport has been around alot longer that the ICE based version of it. I used to play HOCKEY and i cant ICE skate. do you know how i managed that?

BECAUSE HOCKEY IS ON GRASS/ASTROTURF. ICE HOCKEY IS ON ICE...SPOT THE DIFFERENCE ESPN? WELL DO YOU!!!?!!!

Thank you for that Arcon.

nobody, and i mean NOBODY says ice hockey here. but living in canada we don't really need to

if you play floor hockey you say Floor Hockey, if you play field hockey you say Field Hocky, but if you play ice hockey...you say Hockey!

oh yeah, and its not called Football, it's called Soccer...

I play field hockey, and really want to play ice hockey, but round here we dont have al that many ice rinks :'(

The more I learn , the more I get to know, the more I get to know, the more I forget, so why should I learn?

Don't worry Kyp, Archie is just intolerant of all cultures.

nonsense, archie is a cuddly wuddly student, most of them are like that here

gerrof!

Look, in the intrests of being PROPPER i brought this up. Its not SOCCER its football. I'll think you find we called shotgun on that particular name an absolute AGE beore bloody colonials decided to call their game where "feet" and "ball" only ever come in contact once every 10 minutes or so for about a second at a time. I mean for gods sake!!! And while were on the subject, talk about a lame game. ive never seen such a crap looking sport in all my life, give me some ICE hockey any day, that sport has teeth, AMERICAN football (HA! i just got that! AMERICAN football, y'know, like AMERICAN english. Its like, a joke...bwahaha!) you actually STOP the game every few meters of pitch traveled. Who the hell thought that up?

And i dont even know why theres all this hoo har about Football (Soccer) anyway, i mean its not like you can even play the game? Hell. half of you dont even understand the rules or can accept a game where the scores are in the single digits and possibly not a goal scored all match.

as for FIELD hockey. It was around first, ergo, its the original. Calling ICE hockey just regular HOCKEY gives it a state of authority, as if it was around first and so called FIELD hockey was just invented later when it got warm. WRONG, its lazy sports fans who cant be arsed saying an extra word.

get with the program guys

Arch is right, it's football, not soccer. Sorry we own this particular argument and have done for years. That game you American fellows play is actually a form of Rugby Union (if it was League it might be worth watching but no it's just full of pointless stops and starts just like Union) Why it's called football by Americans I don't know, feet hardly come into it except for the Rugby-esque conversions

he's also bang-on saying that Hockey is specifically Field Hockey and all other hockeys derive from that and must be differentiated as such. My daughter plays hockey, on a field. if she played it on ice it would be Ice Hockey.

gotta go with Arch 100% on this.

I'm a fan of Hockey and my favorit team is, of course, the Montreal Canadians. The greatest team in the NHL. And I'll defend the Habs in that respect to the hilt!

Life: No one gets out alive.

@ taw rubby union = rugby football
sorry just had to say that

Montreal is a good team...was the best team for many years, not any more though ...Colorado, Toronto, or Detroit is the best team now. My team is the Blackhawks, pity we lost our top 3 guys at the beginning of the season. We just got one of them back on December 31 and he scored in his first game back . And we won last night against San Jose who had a six game streak without losses (5-0-1). We are also getting our other two players back next month

No soccer/football or ice hockey/hockey discussions! That'll get an instant-lock!

To get back on topic: The New Jersey Devils have a special little place in my heart Mainly because I always choose them as a team when I play NHL. But I can live with the Avalanches, Phillie Flyers or Washington to.

@Wiz: wow, i always play as the devils on NHL as well.

Wiz, what if it was in a seperate thread?
