hock·ey (hŏk'ē)

n. "A game played on ice in which two opposing teams of skaters, using curved sticks, try to drive a puck into the opponent's goal." Answers.com

A most basic description of a game loved en masse in Canada, among many other places. Despite the scars, stitches, patches, fights, 'jurseying', and other such disputess, this game is at the heart of 9.99/10 Canadians. The saying will forever remain true: "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out!", but traditions such as: Hockey Night in Canada, NHL, Stanely Cup playoffs, Olympics, even those 5am practices you may have gone to as a kid, give this game a facet we treasure, and that is that it brings people together. I've dated a hockey player, and I always looked forward to those games where I met up with friends in the stands, and cheered on our boys!!! The Spirit is Strong, the hits are Hard, and the cheers are Loud! Tonight, though away from home-turf, I'm listening to the game online, eating loads of junk food (part of the traditionn, of course!), and rooting for the team of the founding country...CANADA! Lets go les girls!

Bonne chance a toutes nos joueuses!
Good luck to all our players!
