Well, my son would argue there - he plays tomorrow - but I can see that you might not interface with said sport. Noted, and understood that it's a quirky BE term. There are many of those, which is why we keep coming back.

"interface"? I suppose I extrafaced, I used to stand outside the Moss Park Arena first thing in the morning, smoking and watching the Salvation Army hostel kick out, while the kids played. Fortunately, they grew out of it.

Anyone losing sleep over this yet? Not here I can assure you

Anyone see that cracker of a goal by Lopez of Chelsea mid-week?

You mean Oscar well all the TV channels call him Oscar and not Lopez.
Yes it was a very good goal.

Yep field soccer will be a popular sport this winter

This headline in the New York times pretty much sums up the lockout

"The Fans Are Irrelevant in the Business of the N.H.L."

The minor leagues might benefit if NHL fans buy more tickets, but what would be nice would be if CBC broadcast some of the WHL & eastern junior games in place of the NHL because I just watched some clips on the tv sports and it's first class iced hockey. That's where next year's new players come from.

+1 but give it a rest with the reference to "iced hockey", seriously.

Would also be nice if they played the original hockey night in Canada theme song but then again, everything is driven by the all mighty buck.

We had a guy on the gang who couldn't stand 2 pieces of styrofoam being rubbed together, so one afternoon when we saw some insulation blowing around in the field, we tied him up in the back of the crewcab and drove around in circles for an hour, squeaking.

And when I played "iced hockey" we use to strip the rookies naked, tape them to a chair, put their helmet over their crotch and push the chair onto the ice while the figure skaters were on.

What's your point?

If you use "iced hockey", even if you're trying to be funny, like some on this forum, you just come off as someone that has never played or understands the game. 'nuf said.

Well now you've done it, now it's ingrained! Try to get rid of it now.

Well, one can always try.

Given my antipathy to the sport, take this how you will, but if you happen to go to a Pats game, the videos on whatever they call a jumbotron there, were produced by my sprog.

It's not a point of honour to have played iced hockey you know, just a freak of geography.

The best way to stop people calling iced hockey "iced hockey" is to complain about it every time you see it.
