Hockey 

1) A sport originating in England, not played on ice but on foot, not using a puck but a ball. After hockey had developed in the British Isles in the late 19th century, it spread throughout the British Empire, largely due to the British army and this is one reason why India, Pakistan and Australia are so formidable (all were British colonies). Today, hockey is played all over the world by a variety of countries and is currently the second largest team sport in the world, just behind football (that's soccer to those who didn't realise).
2) A faster way of saying ice hockey.

Note - Both are good sports that need speed, stamina, skill etc, I'm just clearing up that it is seldom recognised that field hockey was the original.

1) John - "Do you wana go and play hockey?"
Matt - "Yea, I'll go get my shoes and a ball"
2) Jimmy - "Do u wana play hockey?"
Billy - "Yea, I'll go and get my skates and a puck"

Hockey is the most underrated team sport on earth. Every equivalent record, achievement or feat performed by any other type of athelete a hockey player does on fucking skates!

P1. Micheal Jordan holds the most records in Basketball.

P2. That's nice, Gretzky did it on skates, backwards! Hockey rules!

The best and most entertaining sport out there. PERIOD.

Sadly, hockey's greatness isn't appreciated everywhere. But in Canada, we live and breathe this game, this one sport is intrinsically what links a nation together, it's a part of our heritage.

We even celebrate "Hockey Day in Canada." The passion and love for this game extends to young and old alike, children in pee wee games across the country dream about living the ultimate fantasy and playing in the NHL.

Nothing brings together a city more than a winning local team, nothing brings together a country more than winning on an international level(again, and again and again, I might add).

I get goosebumps when the crowd sings along with O' Canada, I feel giddy when I hear the HNIC theme song, I leave work early or skip class when my schedule interferes with a hockey game, I wear my hockey jersies proudly after a big win, I have crazy game day rituals and I jump up when we score. I'm blissfully happy when my team wins and torn after a loss.
DON'T TELL ME IT'S JUST A GAME.

There is something seriously wrong with you if you don't passionately love hockey.

Hockey 

A sport played solely by badass people.

It takes the most skill to play hockey than any other sport simply because you have to know how to ice skate and handle a hard rubber puck with a stick while 200 pound Canadians are trying to kill you. Hockey makes football look like badminton.

There is nothing quite like creating a yard sale on the ice after smashing some plugs head into the boards followed by a nice lead pass to your winger who toeys some go hard Gerard with bad flow wearing a tinted window, then gives you the puck backdoor with a dirty ragu, bar and down. Gino. Turn the light on. Enough said.

If you play hockey, you're a real man.
