As an American playing in the ECHL, there were countless Canadian kids filling roster spot after roster spot on American teams... It seems like u guys up there have some sort of cloning gimmick going on up there... | Les do you coach your son? or what? His age if yes.
I think people filling rosters spots is something that happens everywhere. Thier is guys from Europe that play here to.

Generally, Scandinavians and Eastern Europeans know hockey. The rest of 'em wouldn't know it from a bucket of sh*t. Watching European hockey is like watching ringette. It's as boring as hell. | |

Country:  | I'm with the slutty Canucks on this one, Hockey is just a much better game - and Cricket ...is just dull. And I used to get the best of both worlds (techical and aggression) playing basketball and rugby while in school. One day I'd have the chance of smashing someone to pieces as they tried to stop me t ...and the next I'd be checking some slut on the court ...man, I love sports. I hate to watch the vast majority of 'em but playing them is always good.
And hockey is technical anyway, it's just brutal as well.

| I coached my son for many many years, from Pee Wee all the way through High School, but now that he has graduated, he only plays in the Recreation League, but I still coach the High School team... Quote: |

Country: | Ringette is a girls' alternative to hockey, invented back in the 60's. It sucks. Period. It's too slow, and not as physical. My wife played it briefly while she was in university, and she said she'd rather play hockey any day. http://www.whockey.com/ringette/ | |

Country:  | I love Hockey. I am a big Pittsburg Penguins fan. Yeah I know they are not doing very well but I am not a band wagon person who jumps from team to team just because they are winning. I still hold on to the Penguins glory days of Mario Lemiux and Jaromir Jagr were on the same team winning Stanly Cups. Thats okay though because Crosby is playing great for a Rookie and he is going to build the team back to glory.
As for Euopean Hockey, I agree it is boring except I did enjoy watching the Norwegians and Finnish Play. The Swiss league was interesting also. Got to see some good fights in that one.
