Ballast
Like you.....I go on regular basis to watch 2 of our local ice hockey teams.
It is a great import from the States........once you understand what is going on.
The punch up's,however are a real spectacle.I was at a game the other week ....and within 3 seconds of "face off" ....2 of the players removed hemets and gloves and knocked seven bales out of each other.....and then were sent to the sin bin.....awesome.
Our local team" the Guildford Flames" are unbeaten so far this seaon.
Yes, hockey rules. I support the Blackburn Hawks who are having a 50 / 50 season so far, they win about as many games as they lose.
On the other hand my NHL team the Detroit Red Wings are sitting nicely at the top of the table ! " Lets go Red Wings, lets go !"
Agree with Fax that cricket and football are boring. But Rugby League rules.
