Hockey has had a hard time capturing the excitement on TV, but their is
no sport as exciting as Hockey live. Especially if you are close to the
rink.

Even my wife, who hates sports liked Hockey.

Wrong group, Don.


Don't recall you piping up when the football thread was on-going.

Football is exciting on TV.




I know. Have been to a few hockey games. First hockey game I ever saw
live was a preliminary game at the 1960 Winter Olympics with the USA
team. But is not a TV sport.
Have to admit...the old NHL (pre lockout) and AHL games could be a bit
tiresome with the defensive style of play.
When you get to the elete world level... nothing's better.
I find basketball a bore and probably wouldn't go to a game if you offered
me tickets and I was standing next to the arena.
...don't even talk of football..when we had the CFL exhibition game here
in the fall, we were more interested in the cheerleaders.

Cheer leaders can be a great reason for going to any game.
