Rink Hockey

Rink hockey, a sold out spectator sport in the 1992 Olympics, is internationally played in over 50 countries. World Championships are held annually for School Boys, Junior, Ladies and Senior Divisions along with intercontinental cup tournaments. Rink Hockey is a team sport that enjoys significant popularity in a number of Latin countries. Depending on territories, it is also known as Hóquei em Patins, International Style Ball hockey, Quad Hockey or Hardball Hockey. There have been many world championships, Latin countries dominating the sport since the 1940s: Portugal (15 World titles), Spain (14 World titles), Italy (4 World titles) and Argentina (4 World titles). Other countries, such as France, Brazil, Germany, Switzerland, Andorra and England are regular international competitors, but rarely overcome the traditional powers. Rink Hockey was recently referred to as Hardball Hockey in the United States until November 2008 when the USOC adopted the sports more common name Rink Hockey.

Rink Hockey was played as a demonstration roller sport in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.

Hockey Fan

someone who lives and breathes hockey. This would be someone who watches, plays, or talks about the act of playing hockey. When they come to school or work the next morning and have pointless discussions about the leafs and the habs and who won last night. They are very passionate about their favourite sport. They will do just about everything to a watch a hockey game, or even get on the ice for a bit of puck.

The Green Men (from Vancouver) They are prime examples of a hockey fan.

Hockey goalie

Someone who is crazy and quick in order to save the puck, and the game. The most important player on the ice... and the most blamed player on the ice. Also, the most bad ass player on the ice. Only rivaled in sports by the lacrosse goalie.

That guy is really weird. "Ya, he's a hockey goalie"

hockey

Hockey is the fastest paced most exciting sport in North America, but is also one of the least covered. The object of the game is to hit a rubber, circular obect (the puck) into a net while wearing skates. Thge game is played on ice with 5 players and 1 goalie on the ice at a time. Hockey was invented in either Montreal, Kingston, Halifax or Windsor, depending on who you talk to. Hockey is by far the most popular sport in Canada and expansion of the NHL in the southern USA is a long running pet-peeve of Canadians, most of whom can't fugure out why anyone would rather watch baseball, football or basketball. Ranks with soccer as the hardest team sport to master at the highest level.

Frank (Canadian): Did you go see the hockey game yeserday?
Jim: Nah, I stayed home and watched baseball.
Frank: (Breaks into laughter)
