Pussies need not apply. Hockey players take catastrophic hits (like in football, except the guy is speeding at you twice as fast on skates), are expected to throw their bodies in front of 130km/h slap shots, regularly have bloody fist fights, and players have been known to break a bone on shift and yet stay on the ice only to score a goal...in other sports (HRM soccer HRM) they get pushed on the grass and they grab their chins in 'agony'. Unlike soccer, matches usually end with more than a single goal and four shots on net, and unlike basketball they don't have a hundred points only to have the game decided by a single one... if every basketball game is going to end 90-89 why not let them play for one minute and decide the winner from that. Hockey is the best mixture of both - its fast enough with enough goals and chances to make it exciting when one happens, and there isn't SO many goals that it becomes a non-event when one happens.
"Ya man, I watched the soccer match... it ended nil-nil and pretty much was them kicking the ball around in the center of the field."
"Yaaaaa well I watched basketball. They scored so many goals that I just stopped caring.
"I watched baseball dude. At least, that was before I slipped into the coma."
"Well I watched FOOOOTBAAAALLL RAWWRRRRRR...Rrrrrrr....rrrr...."
"I watched hockey...it was an exciting game all the way through..with 5 goals in total it made each one exciting and game changing without being so few that it becomes pointless to watch the game instead of the highlights...oh and did you see Crosby beat the shit out of Ovechkin?"

Get the Hockeymug. Sport that is the Canadian version of soccer. Was cool in the 1980s but now is the taint of the sports universe. More white people play/attend games than Neo Nazi meetings. Impossible to watch on TV due to the impossible task of seeing the puck, even in HD. Half of all games used to end in ties; now they end in shootouts, making them now as lame as soccer. Only entertaining part of games is when players fight, which are all scripted anyway, thus setting hockey behind NASCAR, where at least 30-hillbilly pileups are spotaneous.

Get the Hockeymug. Hockey is a team sport, in which 2 teams of random Canadians wielding sticks hit around a rubber puck, while on ice skates.

Get the Hockeymug. a sport where you try to kiss your friends ex-girlfriends, the more you kiss the more points you get. At the end of the month the person who hooked up with the least amout of thier friends ex-girlfriends has to get the words "I'm a PUCK head" tattoed on their body.
