re: My kid is suddenly a HOCKEY FAN...(update-sort of)

hockey is a great sport

and the players, unlike the other sports, are actually good guys. they do more in the communities, without having the media cover it, than any other sport.

They don't ask the media to cover them while they visit the children hospitals, they just go and do it, on weekly basis, without the media.

your kid will love to go to a live hockey game, it is great. i didn't buy season tickets this year, because the owners and players went on strike, so i'm on strike from buying tickets for a couple years. But the game i fast paced, and the flow is great.

Not knowing the rules, can suck, but it's not a must. once you learn the offside rules, you will know why play was stopped.
