Gayle, that's cool! I was kind of worried when I was thinking about moving to Texas, because I think I would miss hockey terribly! Between just watching junior hockey, WHL, my boyfriend's rec hockey games, and of course NHL on tv, my winter is pretty much hockey all the time
Dobie - I don't understand football!!!! Ugh Kyle has tried explaining it to me so many times and I just can't even force myself to stay awake for a whole game. I always fall asleep! It's too complicated for me... too many rules!!! haha
Janet - I actually find hockey to be a lot like basketball with the rules. In hockey there are offsides - the team with possession has to take the puck across the centerline, just like in basketball. Instead of fouls, there are penalties. Sometimes there are penalty shots, but not often! You just get the upper hand for 2 minutes or 5 minutes while the other team has one player in the penalty box, because you have more players on the ice. But yeah, basically get the puck to the other end of the ice and shoot it in the net It might be similar to soccer too but I never really followed soccer or know the rules!
