a "sport" where you skate on ice, and all the players have a hockey stick which they try to use to score and stop the opposite team from scoring. usually played by canadians who think they are macho because they pick random fights during the game with pads on. why it is entertaining to either watch or play is beyond me.
Bill: did you see that fight in the hocky game last night?
Steve: yea, that was pointless. if you want to watch a real fight then watch UFC.
Bill: yeah those hockey players suck ass.yeah their nuts are shrinked its a sport for ugly people.

Get the hockeymug. A human phenomena often resulting when a small group of people stay out in the cold weather too long, and decide the best way they could possibly spend their time would be to grab a hooked stick and start chasing a flat, round, frozen and rubber object around a sheet of ice, and make up rules to make the whole thing appear credible. They'll find some poor, naive chap and put him between the pipes to shoot the puck at under the pretense he is protecting the net. The game inherently evokes anger amongst it's players, which can often only be relieved by momentarily pausing the game so that two players can attempt to punch each other as frequently as possible.
Hockey is the most insane team sport currently known to man, followed closely by Aussie Rules Football.
Players often use a stick specifically designed to propel the puck at high speeds (although harder shots do not make the game more exciting and the composite stick is the worst thing to happen to hockey since Billy Ray Cyrus's
villainization of the mullet). The stick is similar to the design of a golf-club, but with a "blade" instead of a "club" at the firing end. Due to the violent nature of the game, players are equipped with near full-body protection, although some areas are less protected than others.
Hockey is best epitomized by the goaltender position, whose job it is to get hit by a frozen rubber object that is often propelled faster than 100 mph. Players are encouraged to block shots in order to spare the goaltender from having to be the only players to get hit. Players on the professional level often suffer from concussions - Michel Goulet and Adam Deadmarsh are two examples of great hockey players that had to retire due to concussion. Brett Lindros is an example of a player that had to retire early due to concussions.
Hockey is the only single entity that remotely binds Canada as a society, followed by curling (the thinking man's hockey). Is also somewhat popular in some northern American States, as well as many cold-weather European nations.
Players often skate much faster than an athlete can run, resulting in mind-numbing open ice hits. It's easier to understand how hard they hit if you go to a game.
The NHL is hockey's elite league, best known for it's constant altering of major aspects of the game (like the off-side rule), making ridiculous rules (the trapezoid crease extension) whilst deciding not to adopt good ones (European icing), and persistently pushing the game in non-hockey markets (i.e. Atlanta, Carolina, Dallas, California) with varying or negligible amounts of success. To it's credit, the NHL's on-ice penalizing system isn't getting as ridiculous as the NFL's on field rules, and frequently does improve the game.
Hockey has been recognized as the most difficult game to officiate. Hockey officials must also be in better shape than most other professional officials.
Whilst every other league in the world removes and suspends the athlete for fighting during a game, hockey generally penalizes them for five minutes. Players have developed their own unofficial on-ice code (especially over the last twenty years or so) in regards to violent personal altercations (otherwise known as fighting). Professional players will occasionally fight each other just for fun (a concept difficult for people who grow up in large cities to understand re: City Slicker).

EXAMPLE: Hockey would be slightly more fun if they brought back bench clearing brawls and reverted to wooden sticks and more old-fashioned equipment.

Get the hockeymug. the best sport ever, and is best played by girls. yet sadly, it is becoming a victim of the times; with the coming of gear combo packs, and meatheads who cant take a punch. the new "hockey" is even said to be put second to american football by some CANADIANS! its just sad. but we will fight on, we will rid the sport of the adulterating wusses who say they can play (sydney crosby), and we will prevail over the ever present need for sleek and new, and go back to playing on ponds and lakes.
1. dude lests go play some hockey!
2. naw man, renting ice is expensive and besides the fotball game is on
1. wtf?

Get the hockeymug. A game that lots of men love because it is very violent and pointless.
For some reason Canada is also always linked to it. As are missing teeth and blood.
Fun, huh?

Get the hockeymug. A sport that requires people to hit a small disc or Puck around with sticks while the players are on ice. The game was invented by Canadians and they tend to call it the best sport ever and anything american is terrible. But I'm American and actually like Hockey just as much as I like Baseball, so I'm a true fan because I like sports and not bitch about which sport is better or not. Sadly ESPN or any other sports channel doesn't want to show the damn game because they don't like it as much as Handegg, which is really a stupid sport.
