Hockey was not big in Wisconsin when I was growing up, and there still isn't an NHL team here. Youth hockey is much bigger than it used to be (one of my nephews plays), but since I didn't grow up on it, I never developed an interest.

How old were you when you left Michigan?

Hockey is a difficult sport to understand, left to your own devices. You need to watch it with someone who understands it and can explain what is going on.

And it is absolutely irresistable to watch live. TV does not do justice to the speed and majesty of the game.

Four years, eight months.

Can't be any harder than understanding the balk, the strike zone, and the infield fly rule! ;o)

I've seen my nephew play, and that was fun to watch. Definitely better than watching a televised game. Hockey is definitely not made for TV.
