Ice Hockey is an interesting sport

***Admin*** · 05-31-04, 10:46 PM

Ice hockey is a very interesting sport. The sports consist of

male players that literally shove the opponents to the wall with their elbows and shoulders. When two players get into a quick fight, they are allowed to continue fighting until one player falls to the ground, believe it or not.
And how come, there are no African American players playing ice hockey? In certain sports, the African American players dominant the game but in ice hockey, they are nowhere to be seen. Interesting.

BTW, who knew there is a ice hockey team at Cal Poly Pomona. Cal Poly Pomona Hockey Team PTown Hockey.

No one talks about the hockey. All my buddies talk about is basketball and baseball and football.

Hockey is too hard to watch on the television. That may be a reason for its lack of interest. Also, comedians have commented on the lack of African Americans in hockey many a time and I think the concensus is that black people do not like being near white people in masks carrying sticks.

I'd never seen a hockey game, but it would be cool. Anybody is gonna see the fight of de la Hoya and Sturn[Box]? Hook me up so I can see it

[b]The reason not many (there are a few) African Americans do not play hockey is because it is mostly Europeans and Canadians that play. Hockey is an awesome sport people just don't take the time to learn about, is all. I am glad it is something I learned about because it shames all other sports in speed (except NASCAR), agility, and toughness. It is also a thinking man's game, the fights are usually for a reason, such as a player cheap shots another player, etc.

And I didn't know we had an ice hockey team. Would be great if we had a roller hockey team, I would have to go out for that.

Stanley will get a tan, indeed. Ruslan Fedotenko scored twice for Tampa Bay and Nikolai Khabibulin was sparkling in holding off a furious Calgary rally as the Lightning beat the Flames, 2-1, in Game 7 to win the Stanley Cup. Brad Richards won the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. w00T!
