the new rule changes have helped. thank god they got ris of some of the offsides penalties. that made even watching it in person boring.
i would probably say that for most of the people here, organized hockey was not something available to them in their youth. huge indoor rinks just weren't around in the south when i was growing up. if you lived somewhere up north, then you got into hockey. down south, the winter sport is basketball.
