I have never cared for hockey. I live in the south, and hockey just doesn't catch on in areas devoid of snow and ice. That said, I used to like Olympic hockey. But like Olympic basketball and its NBA stars, I lost interest when Olympic hockey became NHL stars. The exhilaration of the "Miracle on Ice" Olympics was that it was amateurs who whupped the commies.
I agree that ice dancing is not really a sport. But you do get a chance to see some beautiful women on occasion. Doesn't hold a candle to fifgure skating, though.
I see you’re from Texas. Big state. But hockey does well in Dallas, as do ice and snow this weekend ;-)
Hey, Hockey has certainly caught on here in Raleigh, which was in the south last I checked. The Hurricanes have built up a great fan base.
