Woo Hoo, I like the way you think, at least my team would still be around(Red Wings) and the cailber of play would be very exciting. :D

I never appreciated hockey until I actually went to a game. To me its not too exciting on TV, but is fun live. Especially when the company I used to work for had King's Season tickets eight rows off ice :snap: Seeing the Ducks play the Kings at Staples was always a blast!

I wonder if the NHL will collapse and a new League will rise from the ashes. Might be one of the best chances for the sport to survive.

Anybody go to Ice Dogs games?

They cancelled hockey? Those bastards! What will all the dentists do now?

Maybe we can play This instead of Ice Hockey.

Redneck hockey at its best





HE SHOOTS, HE SCORES, HEY GOALIE, YOU SUCK!

Or we could get a broom ball game up!!!

For the uninitiated, broomball is where a group of friends get together to play hockey with a few differences:

Sticks replaced by brooms
Skates replaced by shoes (no cleets, spikes, etc. allowed)
Pads and helmets replaced by no pads or helmets (at least that's the way we did it).
I think the puck was replaced by a ball.

Wholesome family fun I tell ya!

im so down with that, i havent played brrom ball since high school!

Hmm.... If people were willing to stay up to an ungodly hour, we could even get the ice time pretty cheap (pretty cheap is like $150-200/hr). I've watched broomball, but never played, could be fun!

Kevy ya forgot to mention that all players are on the ice at all times, even if there's 50 people playing.

Just went to a Hockey game here in Portland last night(we beat Seatle 3 - 1); durring the second intermission they had all the local mascots play broom ball. The game was marred however when the Oregon Duck and the Oregon State Beaver decided to fight.........it turned real ugly when the other mascots decided to join in the malee and the whole thing turned into a brawl.......cougers were fighting wolves, sharks were fighting eagles, a good time was had by all :D
